Ohio Restaurants Working to Overcome Labor Shortages

In August, the industry experienced its first slowdown in business for the year

Raising Cane's, a Louisiana-based chicken fingers restaurant chain, is expanding into Northeast Ohio at a time when many businesses, large and small, find it hard to fill job openings.

Raising Cane's now has more than 530 restaurants, including 12 in Northeast Ohio and 33 others elsewhere in the state, with aggressive plans to add another 100 sites next year.
