About this report

This exclusive report was created in partnership with independent labour economist Dr Shashi Karu, who analysed Deputy data from over 31,000 hospitality shift workers and provided expert insights into the current market conditions.

It reveals how the hospitality industry is coping more than two years after the pandemic began amid widespread labour shortages and supply chain disruptions.

Despite news of recession and economic uncertainty, most hospitality businesses are cautiously optimistic. Using our Deputy work data, this report delves into the health and wellbeing of shiftworkers to show how the industry's dealing with everything from the impact of inflation and rising costs to how they plan on navigating workforce shortages and the pressure to raise wages and salaries over the next 12 months - which, surprisingly, a massive 42% of them say are looking to do even in this current climate.
