“We’re expect a bunch of call in orders, a bunch of people here, this is a open bar,” Round Table Pizza General Manager Anthony McDowell said.Donahue with Milo Butterfingers, a sports bar in Dallas said they’re making adjustments for a day like this. “You just make sure you do have all the positions filled and sometimes you have to change the hours,” Donahue said.
He’s been able to keep all his staff through the pandemic, but there’s still some positions that are proving hard to fill.“Delivery drivers,” said McDowell.“I’d say we’re about 55-65% of where we want to be,” McDowell said. “It’s just hard right now. A lot of people don’t want to work, a lot of people [say] the pay is not what they want.”“We get all our stuff prepped early. Our dough is rolled fresh, we’ve got to come early to roll our dough,” McDowell said.
