Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire Arby’s Inflation

I have a friend who owns a Thai restaurant. All of his costs are exploding. Many things up 50%+. Labor is next to impossible to find. He can’t find reliable help. There are days when half the crew no shows. He had to close for lunch for a couple of months due to lack of employees. It doesn’t seem to matter how much he pays either. He raised the pay and the girls say he pays the best in town. They still won’t show up reliably. My friend lost his cooks recently when the couple moved to be closer to family. He’s now doing all the prep and cooking along with everything else entailed in running a restaurant. Prices have to go way up to cover the costs.
