By now, all of us would have known that the limit for the number of people in social gatherings has just been lifted today (26 April).
And with that, it’s no surprise that Food and Beverage (F&B) firms are gearing up to welcome more customers, given that more people are likely to eat out due to the lack of restrictions.
However, even prior to the announcement, some of us might know that the F&B industry has already been struggling with manpower shortage issues.
Based on reports by Shin Min Daily News, it’s apparently because many foreigners who take up jobs in the F&B sector decided to return to their hometowns after the borders reopened.
Many of them are still overseas, creating a manpower issue, especially since the COVID-19 restrictions have been further relaxed, allowing large groups of diners to dine in.
Eateries Offering Bonuses to Attract Staff
Well, it’s evident that the industry is currently suffering from an obvious lack of manpower, and firms have hence come up with their own incentives to attract new workers.
And yes, they’re actually legit offers.
Eateries such as Kopitiam and Heavenly Wang Café have put up multiple job listings on FastJobs, and all of them boost a whopping welcome bonus of $2,000.
The roles that they are looking for include chefs, service crew and supervisors.
According to Shin Min, other food courts such as Koufu and Broadway Food Court have also kept up with the competition, offering welcome bonuses of $500 and $1,000 respectively.
This applies to restaurants too. Establishments such as Ramen Keisuke have put up advertisements in The Straits Times Classifieds jobs section, with welcome bonuses as well. For Ramen Keisuke, they are offering a welcome bonus of $500.

Some other restaurants such as Ishinomaki Grill and Bar at Orchard Road are also offering up to $22 an hour for part-time staff, much higher than the usual market rate of around $9 to $18 an hour, depending on the restaurant and whether employees work on weekdays or weekends.
This is an even further cry from the part-time rates of the past, where employees would only make $6 to $7 per hour. Shin Min also noted that these rates are rates of the past, and that part-time F&B jobs usually offer much more attractive rates nowadays.
