One in three hospitality employers don’t have enough staff for next week's reopening One in three hospitality employers don’t have enough staff to cope with the reopening of indoor hospitality next week, a new survey has found. The survey of 15 of the UK’s biggest hospitality employers with a combined workforce of 103,500 conducted by hospitality charity Springboard also reveals the skills gap in hospitality, with 80% of those surveyed reporting a lack of skilled talent, specifically among young people. 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.
