Local to me, lots of difficulty in recruiting with reports of advertisements for dishwashers at 50% above minimum wage (C$23/hr, when minimum is $15) in a region with very low unemployment. Seems young adults and teens prefer the side hustle of blogging instead of waiting tables or flipping burgers and avoid dealing with COVID-denying patrons..

Some restaurant I went to with my wife some half a decade ago now (frighteningly one of the better ones in that primarily retirement community) only offered counter service even back then. It's currently operating as take-out only as the outfit told neighbours who we recommended the place to that the kitchen can't be adequately staffed let alone counter service too: A food order some friends made last week was promised for 20 minutes to get ready but ended up taking well over an hour.
