Empty Kitchens and Full Tables: How aRitalent is Solving the Skilled Worker Shortage in Gastronomy

Germany’s gastronomy industry is a vibrant part of the economy and culture. But despite full restaurants and cafes, many kitchens face a serious problem: there is a lack of qualified chefs, service staff, and hospitality professionals. The shortage of skilled workers has sharply increased in recent years, and many businesses struggle to fill their teams. Especially in rural areas and tourist regions, positions often remain unfilled for months, making it difficult to operate and impacting the guest experience.

When businesses cannot find enough staff, they are forced to shorten opening hours or leave tables unoccupied – a situation that threatens the long-term survival of many hospitality businesses.
