Having said that, every now and again BarTender drives me crazy.
As well as the fact the product is great (if you buy printed labels from Winco, we’ll have made them using this software), I also like dealing with the company. This is the highest level since record-keeping began in 2000.If you read Labeling News regularly, you’ll have noticed that I’m a fan of BarTender, the label design and printing software. Meanwhile, unfilled job openings went up by 590,000 to a seasonally adjusted 10.1 million in June, per BLS data. Around 1.63 million people currently work in the industry, compared to 2.06 million in February 2020, according to BLS data. Some restaurants have closed their dining rooms or slashed their opening hours because they can't find enough workers.Įmployment in leisure and hospitality in California is still well below pre-pandemic levels. One former bartender told Insider he'd pivoted to a career in tech so he could work more social hours and spend more time with his wife. Many are leaving the hospitality and retail industries in search of higher pay, better benefits, and a different work environment. The benefits are set to end Saturday, but workers say that it's not the federal unemployment support that's causing them to quit their jobs in droves. "I feel like most folks now want to stay home and take advantage of that unemployment and continue to collect without working," Garcia added. "That's the only thing that we can put our finger on that's different." "Prior to COVID, prior to the various different stimuluses and unemployment payments being available, we didn't have any issues filling hard filling our open positions," Hoover said. Garcia and Hoover said that they thought the $300 weekly supplemental unemployment benefits were the main reason why the cafe had struggled to find new staff. Average wages for nonsupervisory restaurant staff reached $15 an hour in May, according to data from the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS). "That still doesn't seem to have helped much in terms of getting people to actually show up for the interviews and then getting people to accept the position," Hoover added.Ĭalifornia upped its minimum wage for businesses with fewer than 26 employees to $13 an hour in January. Garcia said that the cafe paid staff $14 an hour before the pandemic, but now has a starting wage for some roles of $22 "and they're still not showing up." "So it's just basically wasting our time." "We've even got people accept the position, just not show up the next day, no call, no show, no nothing," Hoover said. "Or if they show up, they show interest and then the next day will call and say that that job is not for them," Garcia said. They just don't show up for the interviews," Hoover said. "We make contact with these people, schedule interviews, confirm interviews, and I would say nine out of 10 people, if not more so like 9.5 out of 10 people, just don't show up.
Hoover said that the cafe posted job listings on Facebook, Craigslist, and job forums, "and we tend to get a ton of applicants." The cafe usually has between 10 and 12 employees on its rota, but its owners said that they're currently struggling to fill three open roles, leaving existing staff "overworked."
Yolanda Garcia and Jesse Hoover, who own Cafe Elk Grove in Elk Grove, just south of Sacramento, told Insider that they raised wages during the pandemic, but that it "doesn't seem to have helped much." The owners of a small cafe in California say that they're not struggling to find job applicants - but are instead struggling to find people who show up to interviews and to their first shift.

Some accept a position and then just don't turn up for their first shift, the owners of Cafe Elk Grove said.
