DAYTONA BEACH Hiring began this week for the new Big Tuna s Beach Bar & Grill as the beachside eatery gets set to open at the end of this month at Bellair Plaza on A1A.
Less than a mile up the street, renovation work is underway on the former Bonefish Grill to become a new restaurant called Dal Mare Italian Chophouse that is expected to open in June.
But with a growing labor shortage that has caused some area restaurants to reduce operating hours and/or close off some seating sections, can the new eateries find enough workers?
Mike Lucas and Stephen Stavris, the owners of Big Tuna s, are confident that they can fill the 20 to 25 full- and part-time positions they need to be fully operational.
All four suspects allegedly involved in a January fight, that included a woman being punched in the face, at Tipsy Taco in Greer have been charged by the Greer Police Department.
