But with recruitment now a nightmare, ask yourself this question: Is this really the time to give up on my staff? Or is it time to have a rethink about how they work together — and how the working environment you provide is hitting their productivity and wellbeing?

In a competitive landscape for hoteliers, they need to look to differentiate themselves from the competition which may now include other companies who have challenged the status quo such as Airbnb. With so much consumer choice in the hotel business it is no longer just a case of setting up a website with a basic ...

So in these most mixed of times, how do you make sure YOUR restaurant is one of the survivors? Let’s start by pinpointing some of the reasons for 2018’s restaurant rollercoaster ride. Brexit blues The pound has been in state of flux ever since the Brexit vote, and it’s had serious repercussions for the industry because the cost of basic ingredients has risen in costs. Margins have also been squeezed by other factors, such as the minimum wage rising by more than 19% in the last five years. One high-profile victim has been Jamie Oliver, who cited the Brexit blues when he was forced to close six of his restaurants in 2017, and 12 more this year.
