The projection was magnificent. After several years of being locked in, customers would be eager to go out, have fun, and spend. <\/span><b>But we did not expect that the problem would be finding the Spanish waiter<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.<\/span><\/p><p><b>Spain has been suffering from a serious shortage of workers this summer.<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Especially in the hospitality sector. But this problem can become an opportunity.<\/span><\/p><h2 id=\"the-odyssey-of-filling-waiter-jobs-in-spain-resignation-in-the-world\">The Odyssey of Filling Waiter Jobs in Spain Resignation in the World<\/h2><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The figures speak for themselves. Practically half of the vacancies in the Spanish hospitality industry have been left vacant this summer. For a huge number of businesses,<\/span><b> this has been the final nail in the coffin that has been building since the beginning of the pandemic.<\/b><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Closures have followed. And although this summer 2022 has recovered similar figures to 2019, the profitability of the hospitality industry is declining at an alarming rate. <\/span><b>Adding to the problems of finding a Spanish waiter is the high price of energy<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. With winter on the horizon and without the cushion of summer profits, it looks like a very tough end of the year for hoteliers.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">According to many hospitality associations, finding waiters has become an odyssey. <\/span><b>And the change in the mentality of young people has an influence<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. They are no longer willing to work hard at their first job, making it almost impossible to hire casual workers for the summer.<\/span><\/p><h3 id=\"spanish-waiter-answers-3-reasons-why-there-are-no-employees\">Spanish Waiter Answers: 3 Reasons Why There Are No Employees<\/h3><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">No one could have guessed that the severe staff shortage crisis would hit Spain. <\/span><b>Despite high unemployment figures, the hospitality industry is failing to close contracts<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. And the workers are clear about it. If there are problems with waiter jobs, it is for three reasons:<\/span><\/p><ul><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Lack of immigrants<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. The arrival of COVID-19 caused many immigrants to return home. Many of them were waiters who have changed their priorities and have decided not to return to Spain. Family and mental health have become more critical in these years of the pandemic.<\/span><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>The waiters of the past now have other jobs<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. The severe restrictions of the pandemic had a significant impact on the hospitality sector. As a result, the average Spanish waiter had to find other jobs that they are now reluctant to leave.<\/span><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Problems in working conditions<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. Trade unions and workers&#8217; associations, however, point to poor working conditions. Not respecting the collective bargaining agreement, unpaid overtime, temporary contracts&#8230; The hospitality industry may be an easy path for many people, but it carries with it a strong labour stigma.<\/span><\/li><\/ul><h2 id=\"the-solution-change-the-game\">The Solution: Change the Game<\/h2><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">So how do you fill waiter jobs? <\/span><b>The solution is to look at recruitment differently<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.
