Carl Sobocinski Talks About Investing in People and Closing His Restaurants to Stop the Spread

Restaurateurs live their lives by the numbers, and when Carl Sobocinski saw COVID-19 case rates racking up in Greenville, SC, he knew he had to take action. Even though it wasn't mandated by local or state law, he voluntarily closed down all but one of his restaurants for a period after the holidays in an effort to keep his team and his diners safe. It was a tough decision that carried a price tag, but for him, it was the right thing to do. He joined Communal Table for a discussion about the mechanics and money behind this move, the efforts he's making to give his team members a path to ownership, and what keeps him grounded in tough times.
