A cafe in Harrogate has been forced to close its doors temporarily due a shortage of staff.
Staff at Caffé Nero, on the corner of Cambridge Street and Station Parade, posted a notice in the door this morning to explain why it would not be opening.
This closure highlights the ongoing recruitment crisis in the hospitality sector, which has forced many restaurants and cafes to reduce services.
The Stray Ferret asked the head office of Caffé Nero when the site would reopen. A spokesperson said it would be open “as soon as possible.”

Meanwhile the notice in the door points customers to the second Caffé Nero site in town, which is a short walk away on Cambridge Crescent.
A spokesperson for Caffé Nero said:
“The store you’re referring to is only temporarily closed due to staff availability and will reopen as soon as possible.
“The larger store two minutes away at Cambridge Crescent is open as usual and trading normally.”
