Most folks in the service industry have been there before.
It’s a Saturday night. One of the servers took another job three weeks ago but the hiring manager hasn’t found a competent replacement just yet. Another server called out sick, so you’re going into the busiest evening of the week at a significant disadvantage.
It will be a long shift racing from table to table trying to provide the coverage of three workers and hope the tips are commensurate with the effort. Hint hint– they probably won’t be.
If this sounds familiar to you or your workers, you’re in more desperate need of help than you might realize. Luckily, there is a quick and easy solution that makes everyone happy!
Temps to the Rescue!
Thriving in the service industry, whether you’re a restaurant, cafe, or bar, requires a certain kind of temperament of the worker.
It’s not enough to be good at your job. You also have to be a great personality, quick thinker, problem solver, and certified athlete to be on your feet running back and forth for that amount of time.
It is difficult to find qualified candidates that fit the bill but working with a great temp agency means you don’t have to!
Working with a temp agency means you’ll have experienced workers with that trademark temperament through the door tomorrow to help with the evening shift. It means our scenario in which one server was subjected to a frantic night and a heaping helping of stress won’t happen on your watch ever again.
Benefits of Hiring Temps
A great temp agency offers you all the tools you’ll need to succeed in the fast-paced service industry.
For one, you’ll get qualified candidates through the door fast. Instead of taking your time putting together a comprehensive job description, posting it, reviewing applications, coordinating and conducting interviews, checking references, and finally making an offer, the agency will have all of this completed in advance.
That means all payroll administration, insurance, other benefits, HR onboarding, compliances, and training is also done in advance. You’ll get a great candidate through the door, and they’ll be ready to work immediately.
In addition, the temps offer risk-free labor because they are employed by the agency. If for any reason they don’t fit your operation, simply inform the agency and they’ll reassign the worker without leaving you open to a wrongful termination suit or an EEOC complaint.
