Belfast restaurant Jumon who recently opened up a new outlet in Portstewart has cancelled bookings for this evening due to staff shortages.
Many hospitality businesses throughout the Causeway Coast and Glens area are facing a major crisis, as they deal with staff shortages in a variety of roles.
Industry bodies say one in five workers have left the sector during the coronavirus pandemic, with Covid and Brexit often cited as exacerbating the problem.
Jumon is housed upstairs in The York Inn, Portstewart - overlooking the town's beautiful shoreline.
