🧑🍳 The Holiday Headache in Hospitality
Running a restaurant in the UK is no small feat. Between busy shifts, supplier delays, and customer expectations, the last thing you need is a scheduling nightmare caused by overlapping holidays or last-minute absences.
Yet, for many restaurant owners and managers, staff holiday management is a recurring pain point—one that eats into productivity, team morale, and even profits.
Let’s talk about why it happens, what’s at stake, and how to fix it.
📉 The Real Cost of Poor Holiday Management
- Burnout among remaining staff
- Unhappy customers from slower service
- Lost revenue from unplanned rota gaps
- Higher turnover due to poor work-life balance
It’s more than an admin issue—it directly affects your bottom line.
