For businesses in the foodservice industry, it pays to pay attention to what happens across the pond\u2014especially as the American hospitality industry faces a widespread labour shortage. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Although the cause of the labour short agein the United States is up for debate, one realization remains clear :foodservice workers need to accomplish more work with less people. To achieve higher levels of productivity, many businesses are turning toward the automation of everyday tasks\u2014a move that European businesses could benefit from as well. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

As times change, adopting restaurant automation solutions isn\u2019t just a matter of convenience. It\u2019s a matter of survival. Now more than ever, it\u2019s time to adapt.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tackling the labour shortage<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Faced with increasingly understaffed teams and a competitive labour market, restaurants in the United States have turned toward different solutions to bring new employees on board. Bigger restaurant chains, like Chipotle Mexican Grill, raised wages while others, like McDonald\u2019s, have paid people to show up for interviews.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

These tactics might work for bigger chains with larger budgets. But for smaller chains or single location businesses with less money to spend, these costly strategies aren\u2019t realistic options. Considering the circumstances, many restaurants and caf\u00e9s\u2014small to large\u2014have embraced automation as one of many solutions to the labour crisis. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

By streamlining small, everyday tasks, automation allows restaurants staff to reallocate their attention toward responsibilities with more impact on the bottom line\u2014such as serving guests or cooking food.[AH1]<\/a> <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Compared to raising wages or offering sign-on bonuses, automating certain aspects of restaurant work can be reasonably affordable. A small, upfront investment of a few hundred pounds for a new piece of technology\u2014like an automated labelling machine<\/a>\u2014can save hours of employee time. And those savings can add up quickly. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The easiest place to start automating<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

As mentioned before, labelling provides one of the most impactful ways to start automating processes in a restaurant, pub or caf\u00e9.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Consider how many types of labels any one of these businesses uses in a day. There are labels for bins of prep ingredients, deli food, bakery goods,<\/del> and retail items. And with restaurants offering even more service models since the start of the pandemic, businesses now need additional labels for grab-and-go, delivery and curbside pickup orders.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This increased need makes labelling the perfect place to start experiencing the benefits of automation. Having a single automated solution to create every label gives restaurants an optimal amount of flexibility and helps staff label what they need without expending too much time or effort.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
