PHILADELPHIA (WPVI) -- A record shortage of workers in the service and hospitality industry is prompting businesses to offer unheard of incentives to potential employees. That includes all kinds of perks from bonuses to housing. Right now, getting people to work is not easy.
As restaurant capacities across the country increase, so does their need for staff. But what many restaurant employers have characterized as a restaurant labor shortage is ongoing.

Between COVID-19 and unprecedented lockdowns on the nation's capital during the inauguration, area restaurateurs are hoping to get a boost when Metropolitan Washington Restaurant Week kicks off Monday.
