The Swiss Federal Council is lifting the lockdown faster than planned for all restaurants and bars. On May 11th, restaurants will be able to reopen, giving them only a few days to plan their staff and operations. Coople, Europe’s largest digital platform for flexible staffing solutions, can enable the hospitality industry to access a vast pool of skilled flexible staff instantly to cover planned and unplanned peaks in business effectively.

Plan for the right staff at the right time

A lot of restaurateurs, business owners and F&B managers are struggling with staff planning. The strict guidelines shared by the Federal Government last week will force venues to rethink their planning, and to react fast to meet their demand with the right amount of staff.

With great uncertainty in the weeks and months to follow, flexibility will be a top priority for hotels, bars and restaurants, as demand may return slowly or – in some areas – ramp up rapidly. These establishments will therefore need support in recruiting and hiring temporary workers, as well as keeping its full-time employees as flexible as possible to meet the business needs, manage their fixed cost effectively and maximize its revenue.

With so many unpredictable events that can happen within a short space of time, there is a clear need to move to models that can react to these changes in real-time – using digital solutions to plan staff in a way that helps cover planned and unplanned peaks in business with skilled, experienced and flexible workers.
