Hospitality sector feels bite of skills shortage with inexperienced staff 'treating it like a McDonald's'
Chefs, waiters, and bakers are in hot demand across the country and businesses are calling for support as customer spending declines.

‘Treat it like a McDonalds’
Oh you mean the extraordinarily successful and profitable chain which manages to produce a consistent and in-demand product despite a well-known preponderance of very young workers in their first jobs, is that what you meant
-
Or did you mean ‘these workers refuse to do any more than a worker at McDonalds, and I can’t manage to increase my productivity in the way that chain does, and I refuse to bid higher for higher skilled workers’

@liamvhogan maybe they should have a chat with the Higher Education sector about teaming up against the Government’s plan to drastically cut foreign student intakes… that might be a bit too (chokes back some vomit) “realpolitik”

@liamvhogan I’m so confused. I thought work from home meant people weren’t going to cafes anymore but now there’s so much demand they can’t keep up with staffing?
I see how hard and fast some of the staff at my local maccas work in peak hour and am impressed. I couldn’t keep it up. If Maccas is the more attractive hospitality job, everyone else in the sector needs to do some soul searching about why they’re so unappealing

@liamvhogan as always, the “At the price we want to pay” is silent in the phrase “skills shortage”

@liamvhogan ye olde fast cheap and good. You cannot have all of them, and the hospitality industry thinks fast and cheap = good
