Singapore F&B outlets struggle to hire despite offering higher pay

Food and beverage (F&B) establishments here continue to struggle with manpower shortages, despite offering higher pay.


Many outlets are under-staffed by 20 per cent to 30 per cent, said the Restaurant Association of Singapore (RAS), which has more than 500 members, including restaurants, caterers and fast-food chains.


"Many F&B brands have also commented that even after increasing salaries of their service crew by 25 per cent to 30 per cent, they continue to face difficulty in hiring," RAS said.


Tightened border controls over the past year due to the pandemic have limited the number of foreigners entering Singapore, exacerbating the situation.

People are in lethargy after all the Sop's and lockdowns.
In the US, same thing. But that's because they get gomen handouts which may end soon. And use the cash to make money in Bitcoin and stocks.
