Restaurant owner warns of automation in kitchens amid labor shortage
Fox News
As small business owners face one obstacle after another, chef and restaurateur Andrew Gruel worries about long-term effects on the dining industry.
"What I fear in terms of the long-term effects of this is that we start to automate and robotize our industry," Gruel told Fox News. "That's the only option if a lot of these businesses are going to continue to try and survive, especially when there's a lack of labor or if the cost of labor is so high that it's prohibitive for anybody to grow." The restaurant industry suffered tremendously the past year from harsh dining restrictions put in place by states to curb the spread of COVID-19.More Related News
