The housing market in San Francisco is so expensive that it’s commonly referred to as being in a crisis.
Restaurant workers are fleeing the city’s unmanageable costs, The Guardian reported, and it’s changing the way the industry is serving customers.
Some restaurants are having customers order at a counter instead of being waited on at a table and are simplifying their menus to decrease the size of their waitstaff.
The problem isn’t unique to the Bay Area: Restaurants in cities like New York City and Washington have encountered similar staffing issues.
