CEO says restaurants ‘can’t compete’ with ‘virtual working’ trend

Sergio’s Restaurants president and CEO Carlos Gazitua argued on Wednesday that the food and retail industries “can’t compete” with the new “virtual working” trend.

Speaking on “Cavuto: Coast to Coast” on Wednesday, he also noted that the new trend has forced his industry to “look at automation and robotics as a tool” to offset pressure. 

The president and CEO of the restaurants serving up Cuban food in Florida stressed that the worker shortage coupled with the new trend has been bad for business and further complicates the situation.

“We’re still 1.5 million shy of a workforce since 2020,” Gazitua said, noting that he also can’t compete with the new remote work trend.

“We just can’t get the workforce back into our industry,” he stressed.
