Michigan's restaurant industry struggles with reduced customer traffic, inflation, and potential tip credit change, as per a survey by the Michigan Restaurant and Lodging Association.
Michigan's restaurant industry is facing ongoing struggles to recover from the pandemic, according to a survey by the Michigan Restaurant and Lodging Association. The survey polled 200 restaurant operators, representing around 3,000 locations and over 100,000 employees, and found that 60% reported fewer customers than a year ago and only 25% experienced sales growth. The industry is grappling with inflation, low customer traffic, and potential changes to the tip credit as the Michigan Supreme Court considers eliminating it, which could lead to the closure of many full-service restaurants.
