that propose a $1.3 billion rater stadium at the coliseum, the oakland city council backed the effort in december of 2016, they committed $2 million to improvements but the nfl did and by that saying the plan was not a viable option. the raiders owner said he said his sights on vegas 11 months earlier taxpayer money for what turned out to be a nearly $2 billion domed stadium in vegas. another lockdown? as cases increase, so does the concern that we have to go back inside. a san francisco restaurant closes its doors, the reason, they say their workers need a break.

behind the temporary closure and is it four days that you are looking at? >> thanks for having me on. yeah, we were open six days a week, we went a week, and we are just getting pummeled over here because we don't have enough hands on deck, people want to be in the restaurant more than ever before. there's a line outside, it's wonderful, except we can't handle them and give the quality of service we want. everybody is beating themselves up trying to work as hard as they can. i decided enough is enough . we, as a team, decided we needed a little break, so we took a four day weekend. >> you normally have four cooks, and now you are down to one? so how do you do that, are you the one? >> no, i wouldn't survive in the kitchen, gavin schmidt is my chef and partner and he's an animal, and right now, we've got friends and family filling in, and we we we really shouldn't be working who is pregnant and needs to not be

working and she comes in gavin does the heavy lifting for her, she leaves as early as possible but she shouldn't be working at all, she needs to go home and rest and have a baby and we need to find a solution to this . >> what is the solution? i had a buddy that owned a restaurant in danville and this was pre-pandemic and had the same problem you're talking about right now in fact he said at one point, he kept $17 now, $20 an hour, $25 an hour and finally had to close the restaurant because he could not get staff especially in the kitchen, so how do you fix this? >> there's been a labor shortage for a long time but not like this. i've been in this industry for 32 years, and never seen anything like this. nobody wants to work. and i think that it will turn around, i think people will start coming back to work at some point, but in the

meantime, we are going to have to come up with low labor models, we are going to look at pivoting and we are probably going to pivot soon here at the morris, to a model that will allow to cooks in the kitchen to not hate their lives and to execute a really amazing meal. it's not going to be the same concept that we've always done, that has been acclaimed and that our regulars are coming in for on a regular basis but hopefully, it will solution, it'll get us through and i think you will be seeing a lot more of that . >> probably a lot of restaurants are in the same situation. what is the reaction from your customers, how have they handled this because obviously, they have to wait longer for their meals, i'm sure everybody once to go out and eat after being locked in for so long so you've got a crush of people and not enough staff to deal with it . >> yeah, i think that we are very fortunate to be in san francisco, which is a bubble, and the morris is this incredible double within a bubble, where our regulars are so incredibly wonderful, and generous, i've had multiple regulars

investors to give us cash to help us out through the pandemic. but right now, we are seeing very nice people, we are seeing almost entirely people who understand what's happening, understand how shortstaffed everybody is, and they accept that the service is not the way it should be and it certainly not the way we wanted to be. but that's because we are in a bubble, you hear the stories of of the restaurants where the service staff is getting yelled at, thank god that is not us. and again, great to live in san francisco . >> paul you need to talk to those investor types and see if they want to be in the kitchen for maybe a six hour or eight hour shift, i don't know how that will go over, but it doesn't hurt to ask. anyway, i appreciate the time, o m working . body's got soon thank you, paul.
