In Singapore’s dynamic food and beverage (F&B) industry, the demand for flexible staffing solutions has surged. With the rise of the gig economy and changing workforce preferences, restaurants and cafés are increasingly seeking efficient methods to hire reliable part-time staff promptly. This article explores effective strategies to achieve this, highlighting how platforms like Anytime Work can facilitate the process.
Recent trends indicate a significant shift towards part-time and gig work within Singapore’s hospitality industry. According to a whitepaper by Jobs On Demand (JOD), there was a 50% month-on-month increase in job applications from April to December 2023, driven by employees’ preference for flexibility and autonomy. The healthcare and hospitality industries are leading this shift, with demand for gig employees rising and hourly rates reaching up to S$22.
