Kyle Mulder, the general manager Bru Burger Bar at Polaris, said his crews are excited to welcome new and old customers after major changes due to COVID.
"Were ecstatic! You know, we obviously took the same hits that everybody else did, whenever COVID happen, we shut down and went to carry out only but whenever we open back up, people came out back out in droves. Our sales have been awesome, you know to have a restaurant week like this, I think it's great for the guests to kind of reconnect and give them an opportunity to kind of come back out, " Mulder said.
He said the Westerville business like many others have had a tough times getting employees.
"It's been a struggle. You know, staffing was tough there for a while, you know, trying to get people in the door, to actually be able to come and work and take care of people. I think our issue for a while was we had more guests than we had people able to serve people but we've finally gotten back to a really great place, " he said.
