Restaurants cut hours due to staff shortage

The pandemic has put locally owned restaurants in a pickle.

“The new COVID surge has come so you have a lot of staff just calling out because they’ve been exposed,” said Pierre Bloomfield, Store Manager of Ace No. 3.

Bloomfield said his team doesn’t want to put anyone at risk but that’s leading to worker shortages.

All Ace restaurants will open late and close early until it can better staff its kitchen.

“It’s been a little hectic as far as keeping staffing in the building,” Bloomfield explained.
