Toronto’s Moroccan-French Fusion Restaurant Closes Amid Staffing Shortage

In Canada, a Franco-Moroccan inspired restaurant located in the city of Toronto is forced to close its doors due to a lack of manpower.
In an Instagram post, Atai Bistro, a restaurant serving traditional Moroccan flavors with French cuisine styles, located at 3047 Dundas Street West in Toronto, announced that it was temporarily closing its doors due to a lack of staff. "The extreme lack of staff has been a constant challenge for Atai," the restaurant explains. The decision will take effect this Sunday, April 16.
"Our commitment to quality and service requires us to rethink how we should move forward. We are grateful to our customers for their support and look forward to reopening," it added. The post touched many customers who left positive comments.
"It’s so sad! I hope things will work out for you and you’ll reopen soon," writes one customer. "I hope it’s only temporary, it will be such a loss for the area to see you go," warns another.
