Trying to compensate for labor shortages through overtime for existing staff often seems like a rational and cost-effective solution for restaurant owners. However, in practice, this often leads to higher payroll costs and hidden losses.
Overtime leads to burnout of key employees, an increase in errors during food service, and a decrease in customer service speed. In turn, paying overtime at higher rates is significantly more expensive for a business than hiring additional specialists in a timely manner.

"Protecting your core team's resources is a crucial factor in your business's financial security. Hiring proven specialists for your tasks is more cost-effective than constantly overpaying for overtime."
