Staff shortages in the hospitality industry are a big problem. Or to put it another way: coping with fluctuating crowds is a big problem. Terraces are allowed to open (to a limited extent) again, but who will serve the guests? Often the first thought is the staff. In contrast, that is not always the solution. The figures in the article from Entree Magazine say it all. Since the crisis, almost 2,700 new hospitality businesses have opened. This brings the total number of businesses in the Netherlands to over 74,000. As for the number of employees, Ricardo Eshuis, director of Stichting Vakbekwaamheid Horeca (SVH), says: "Before the crisis, 460,000 people were working in the hotel and catering industry. That was already too few. Now that number has fallen sharply to 350,000." According to hospitality trend watcher Wouter Verkerk, finding personnel will only become more difficult in the future, and digitization is the solution. QR ordering is now the alternative to serving on the terrace.
