Why some Washington restaurants are facing a worker shortage

Just as diners are finally returning, many Washington restaurants can t find workers to serve them. Author: Eric Wilkinson Updated: 7:07 PM PDT April 26, 2021 BURLINGTON, Wash. The financial comeback is finally on track at Burlington s Railroad Pub & Pizza. Customers, hungry for some normalcy, are filling the seats. There s just one problem. We re just looking for anybody who wants to work, said pub owner Nick Crandall. Washington s hospitality industry lost 140,000 jobs during the pandemic and fewer than 40% of those workers have returned. Crandall is down at least 10 people between the pub and the nearby Train Wreck Bar & Grill, which he also owns. He s been forced to hire people with zero experience, while at the same time, consider paying them more as an enticement back into the workforce.

Burlington s Railroad Pub & Pizza can now open its doors to seated customers in its open-air dining room. Washington s Department of Labor and Industries (L & I) has relaxed dining regulations for certain restaurants after Railroad Pub & Pizza owner Nick Crandall argued that the restaurant s dining room, with garage-door sized roll-up windows, had just as much airflow as the outdoor sidewalk tents that have been allowed. It was part of his struggle to stay afloat, after nine months of varying indoor dining restrictions on restaurants statewide due to the coronavirus pandemic.
