Almost nine in ten (87%) said they were finding it difficult to recruit for kitchen and back of house roles, while one in three (33%) said there was a lack of supply for critical senior management positions.
Restaurants in Britain are facing a recruitment crisis as they gear up to fully reopen in three weeks time, after more than 350,000 jobs were lost in the hospitality industry during the pandemic.
