Some Valley restaurant owners are struggling to find help as eateries are seeing a significant uptick in business.
Steve Chucri, president and CEO of the Arizona Restaurant Association, said he believes the hiring problem extends beyond the state’s borders and said the worker shortage is a “nationwide” problem. The Arizona Restaurant Association is a trade organization that acts as resource for Valley restaurants.
“Yeah, we have certainly seen an uptick,” Mr. Chucri said. “I think there has been a pent-up demand.”
