8. That's the physical layout, not the staff.

Ours has roughly the same staff as it always has - except that the people taking orders and getting drinks are taking payment and getting drinks. Perhaps down one staff member per shift, aside from peak hours. (I haven't been there during peak hours, so I don't know what staffing looks like at during hose hours.) And fewer shifts - since post-COVID pretty much everything has cut down on hours.
