Lack of waiters

Last day, I watched on TV the problems that waiters have at the time to work, and now I want to tell you something about this topic.
Here, I leave a little introduction about waiters’ world:

Working as a waiter in Catalonia is difficult because the season is so short. This means that it is difficult to find staff. So, the town’s restaurants and bars are understaffed.
The Institute of Hoteliers calculates that on the Costa Brava around 1000 restaurants are desperately needed. It became obvious last year that few people wanted to work in this sector for different reasons.
One can see this both by their inability to speak languages and the quality of service.
Some restaurants use students or workers from Spanish speaking countries, although there are a lot of restaurants which have foreigner staff at height of the tourist season.
From the point of view of the people at the time to work of waiter is that there are two main problems for anyone:
- Long hours, which include bank holidays and weekends.
- The low pay, it is around 935 euros for month (the average).


I think that the lack of waiters is a common problem, not only in Catalonia, because the conditions which have the people are the same in the most of places.


That's all... Bye
