Brexit is not a slowly-deflating tyre - it’s cold turkey, breaking the hospitality industry’s addiction to an endless supply of cheap labour that’s prepared to put up with crap working conditions because they don’t intend to stick around for long. There are already encouraging signs of change in the BBC version of the report - restaurateurs realising they’re going to have to improve pay. It’s not enough though. Unpredictable hours, excessive use of part-time staff and all the other stuff you can only get away with when you know high staff turnover isn’t a real problem ... it all has to go. There’s a long road ahead, but there are immense opportunities here for owners who are prepared to invest in stable, well-trained and remunerated jobs. Meanwhile, those who will only obsess over where they’re getting their next fix of cheap, super-flexible (and exploitable) workers from, are going to land up in trouble.
An excellent post there, Chris, if you don’t mind me saying!
