Some restaurants report trouble hiring as coronavirus restrictions are removed
COLUMBIA, Mo. (KMIZ)
Columbia will likely be without coronavirus health orders soon, theoretically returning the restaurant business to something similar to what it was before the pandemic.
However, some restaurant owners and industry advocates say businesses are having trouble finding workers.
Columbia Mayor Brian Treece said Monday that the city s coronavirus health order will expire May 12 and will not be replaced unless current positive trends change.
The order requires people to wear masks where social distancing is not possible and in restaurants when they re not seated. The order also requires social distancing inside businesses.
First Ward Councilwoman Pat Fowler was outspoken Monday night during the Columbia City Council meeting about her support of an ordinance that would allow restaurants to use parking spaces for outdoor seating.
Restaurants currently can apply at least three weeks in advance for the right to use a permit that would provide extra space for outdoor dining. However, that temporary permit would only last 20 days under the original ordinance. That period of time isn t cost-effective for local businesses, Fowler said.
“It seems like the restaurants would not get a benefit out of that if they had to dismantle it and move it within 20 days only to apply to bring it back, Fowler said.
