TYLER, Texas (KLTV) - Like many other restaurateurs in Texas, the owners of East Texas Brewing Company want to operate their venue at full capacity but find doing so challenging due to a lack of workers.

Because of the pandemic the National Restaurant Association says they finished 2020 nearly 2.5 million jobs below their pre-coronavirus level, about 20 percent. Annie Gilstrap, the owner of East Texas Brewing Company says when they first opened back up, with limited capacity, they didn’t need a large staff.
