More than half of Ohio’s restaurant operators showed a drop in sales this year, according to a recent survey from the Ohio Restaurant Association.
Dylan Fallon is one of the partners in Ninja City in Cleveland's Gordon Square neighborhood.“You have a strong team of very dedicated, loyal followers who appreciate you, who believe in you, but there’s only 80 percent of what we need,” Fallon said. “That’s more than most which is why I’m grateful to have these guys. It’s almost weekly I have to sit down with somebody and say, ‘Hey, take your time, don’t worry, we’re going to be OK, take a day off, take a break.
“I hate using the word ‘bleak’,” Fallon said. “I am grateful to be here in business. The community has really rallied around us and kept us alive for the past couple of years. We’re doing as best as we can do now. There are so many challenges; restaurants have always been challenged.” “Inflation is inflation. The cost of labor has been flat for far too long. … It’s unfortunate that it took a global pandemic to get people to realize that this is what people should be earning. It’s unfortunate that it all happened all at once. You take inflation that is supposed to be happening slowly over 30 years” and then all of a sudden it hits the way it has, he said.“Things are expensive because of a lot of reasons,” Fallon said.
His way of surviving the continual wave of economic punches includes maintaining multiple business lines.
