The labor shortage is difficult for all companies. But it’s particularly challenging for growing chains looking to add more locations.
This week’s edition of "A Deeper Dive" features Bruce Dean, CEO of Redding, Calif.-based family-dining chain Black Bear Diner. Dean discusses the labor shortage and how his chain is combating that challenge, both by attracting workers and keeping good employees.
Dean also discusses labor costs and his views on automation, technology and other strategies some chains are deploying to address the issue.
He also talks about how his chain grew from a single concept in a small Northern California town. Please have a listen.
