Large and small businesses in the US have been hard hit by staff shortages due to the Pandemic. Many workers have left their jobs in protest of low wages and poor working conditions as a result of the Great Resignation.
There were 100 employees at the Ukrainian restaurant before the start of COVID-19. 20 members of Birchard's staff have left since then.
The average wage for Birchard's employees is between 20 and 25 dollars an hour. He said that front-of-house staff are paid between $10 and $15 an hour.
In New York City, the minimum wage is $10 an hour for tipped food service workers,$15 for tipped service employees, and$15 without tips.
He said that he couldn't find an employee that would work for less than 20 dollars an hour.
Birchard said he was willing to pay even premium wage but he couldn't find the people.
In March, Birchard told Insider that restaurant sales had increased by 75%. He said on Tuesday that the trend hasn't slowed down since four months ago.
He said he'll be able to hire some college students who are staying in New York for the summer, but he's looking for a different group of people.
