Help is on the Way ... Or is It?
The refrain we've heard anecdotally for more than
two years now: " No one wants to work. We can't
get help. We've tried everything, but we're understaff
ed. " That rang through loudly in this survey as
well.
When asked their top three priorities for 2023, 65
percent of respondents answered, " maintain current
business. " 65 percent also answered " grow sales. "
38.7 percent included " add employees. " Aside from
sales, the employee issue was the most top of mind.
Consider the following data on the topic:
* 37.9% have 10 or fewer employees. 22% have
11-12.
* 29.6% have an average labor cost in the
23-28% range. Another 26.1% carry a labor
cost between 29-35%.
* When asked if they had to adjust their operating
hours due to a shortage of workers, 49%
answered " yes. "
* In an eff ort to keep help, 83.2% of pizzeria operators
have increased wages. 24.8% upped
pay by 4-6% to help off set infl ation. Meanwhile,
a nearly identical number (24.6%) said
they raised salaries by 7-11%.
We also asked about employee benefi ts. You'll see
that data in our full report accessible on

one pizza style. Just over 21 percent off er four or
more styles.
New York is No. 1.
New York-style pizza reigns supreme as the most
popular pizza on pizzeria menus across the nation.

pizza in America. The fi rst licensed pizzeria to open
in the U.S. was Lombari's, which opened in New York
City in 1905. The versatile New York slice is crispy, a
bit chewy, foldable and light on the toppings.
