Chick-fil-A restaurants across the United States are limiting their customers to one sauce per entree.
The fast-food company said on Wednesday that supply chain issues during the coronavirus pandemic were to blame for the limitations.

“Due to industry-wide supply chain disruptions, some Chick-fil-A restaurants are experiencing a shortage of select items, like sauces,” the company said in a statement shared with the Washington Examiner. “We are actively working to make adjustments to solve this issue quickly and apologize to our Guests for any inconvenience.”
It is unclear how many of the chain’s stores were limiting sauce consumption, but it has 2,600 locations in the U.S.
The company stressed that its chicken supply remains unaffected.
Amid the coronavirus pandemic, fast-food restaurants have not only faced difficulties due to interruptions in their supplies but also due to interruptions in their labor force.

The National Owners Association, an independent group of McDonald’s franchises, is blaming a shortage of employees on increased unemployment benefits given out as a result of the health crisis.
“What’s going on here? When people can make more staying at home than going to work, they will stay at home,” the group said in a Sunday letter to its members obtained by Insider. “It’s that simple. We don’t blame them. We fault the system.”
