Not the recovery we’d hoped for
It’s no secret that hospitality has been going through a staffing struggle. In fact, the sector hasn’t had access to a steady, reliable, and readily available talent pool since the first lockdown in March 2020.
Sure, it was a huge relief when Covid restrictions dropped and food and drink venues were free to operate at full capacity. But the truth is, many haven’t been able to run at the levels they’d like because they don’t have the people power to do so. A recent survey found that 45% of businesses have had to cut trading hours or capacity in order to cope, costing the industry £21bn in lost revenue.
Other research, which tracked all job listings on Indeed.com between 8th and 21st June, found that the hospitality sector is the UK’s fifth industry most in need of workers. Just less than half of the 11,639 vacancies advertised were for chefs, making it the most in-demand food service role, followed by waiters. This isn’t how post-pandemic recovery was supposed to go, but until things pick up, there is a solution…
How hap can help
When we started supplying chefs and kitchen staff, it was because we knew the sector needed us. We’ve already provided thousands of hospitality workers since the pandemic, and now we’re ready to enter the kitchen.
The time and resources that go into recruiting reliable, permanent staff can be costly and exhausting. And when you’ve got customers to feed right now, you can’t sit back and wait for the right candidate to come along. That’s where we come in.
Our kitchen staffing manager spent a decade in kitchens himself so he knows what a reliable worker looks like, and the skills they must have to be able to meet your needs. Just fill us in on the roles and time period required, and we’ll supply the capable personnel to fill your kitchen and serve your footfall.
Don’t sweat the payroll
Worried about complicating your current payroll? Don’t be. We run all that from hap HQ. Staff will be paid via our rates and systems within 12 days of the start of their assignment, and they’ll come to us with any issues on the money side, not you.
We also give our workers the full lowdown beforehand to save you the trouble of doing it yourself. That way, your temporary hap team is ready to hit the ground running.
