Labor Shortages in the Hotel and Restaurant Industry—and How We Can Help

The shortage of skilled workers, which is currently making headlines in Germany, is particularly acute in the hospitality industry. Due to demographic changes and high employee turnover in the industry, many establishments are unable to make up for the loss of workers. Especially in labor-intensive areas such as housekeeping, dishwashing, and front-of-house service, there is simply a lack of new recruits to meet the demand.

As a result, many businesses are having trouble filling their open positions, which can have noticeable consequences: from overtime to a decline in quality and service, and even to reduced operations and dissatisfied guests.

High Demand

The demand for hospitality staff is steadily rising—but the next generation isn't keeping up. Staffing services in Eastern Europe offer the fastest solution for filling open positions.

Demographic Change

Older workers are leaving the workforce, and this loss cannot be offset by a domestic workforce—workers from Eastern Europe are filling this gap.

Cost-effective solution

Staff leasing from Eastern Europe offers a flexible, cost-effective way to hire qualified personnel for the hospitality industry.
