PALO ALTO, Calif.—It was not so long ago that the aroma of Moroccan spiced prawns wafted out to a downtown street here from the open-air patio called Zibibbo. Today that patio is behind locked doors, obscured by frosted grass. The formerly crowded bar has been converted into a sparsely populated startup space of a dozen engineers, their bikes and whiteboards. All told, more than 70,000 square feet of Palo Alto retail and restaurant space were lost to office space from 2008 to 2015, as the tech bubble drove demand for commercial space downtown.
It is a story playing out across Silicon Valley, where restaurateurs say that staying afloat is a daily battle with rising rents, high local fees and acute labor shortages. And tech behemoths like Apple and Googleare hiring away their best line cooks and dishwashers with wages, benefits and perks that restaurant owners simply cannot match.
We’re competing more for staff than we are for guests at this point, said Craig Stoll, a James Beard Award-winning chef and co-owner with his wife, Annie Stoll, of Delfina. They have not been able to fully staff their Silicon Valley locations since they opened about two years ago. They used to require their line cooks to have particular experience. Now we’ re just selling ourselves on Craigslist, posting pictures good-looking waitresses to recruit staff, Stoll said. In the last year, the Stolls have lost several of their best servers to Twitter in San Francisco. To compete, the couple have been increasing pay and perks as much as possible, but they say they still often have to blank off entire sections of their Silicon Valley restaurants simply because there is not enough staff to service them. Recently, they have resorted to hiring their daughter and her friends to step in. We’re breeding our own workforce at this point, Stoll joked.
Last year, Brigette Lau and Chamath Palihapitiya opened Bird Dog, a stylish restaurant down town. But even with Silicon Valley’s backing and their own substantial means, Lau said operating a restaurant in Palo Alto was not for the faint of heart. I’m supportive of the startup community, but not at the expense of the community, she said.
The reason for the Stolls to close off their restaurant in Silicon Valley is that______.
选项
A、they do not have experienced cooks
B、there are not fully sufficient staffs to serve guests
C、their employees are hired away by Twitter
D、they do not have enough time to manage
答案
B
解析
细节题。根据题干关键词定位到文章第三段第六句but they say they still often have to blank off entire sections…because there is not enough staff to service them。close off是该句中blank off的同义替换,均有“关闭;封锁”之意。B项“没有足够的服务员去服务顾客”与文中原因表述一致,故选B。A项“他们没有经验丰富的厨师”和C项“他们的员工被Twitter挖墙脚”在第三段均有提及.但却不是斯托尔夫妇经常关闭整片就餐区的真正原因,故排除。D项“没有足够的时间去管理”在文章中并未提及,故本题选B。
