In this episode, we delve into the growing crisis in the hospitality industry, focusing on the severe shortage of waitstaff. Many restaurants, cafes, and bars are struggling to find staff, a problem that has become increasingly dire. We explore the causes behind this shortage, including long working hours, weekend and holiday shifts, and non-competitive wages. The average salary for waitstaff in Croatia is around 1100 euros, significantly lower than in other sectors. We discuss potential solutions, such as investing in education, creating attractive working environments, and ethical recruitment practices. Join us as we uncover the challenges and possible remedies to this pressing issue in the hospitality world.
