In many European countries and around the world, the restaurant owners are unable to find qualified personnel in the Horeca sector, also due to the pandemic.
Technology can provide a valid solution: the OperaPrima automatic Pizza Shaper stretches the dough without the support of qualified personnel.
This is a problem known to professionals in the sector: for years the restaurant world has been constantly facing difficulties in finding qualified personnel.
The pandemic worsened the situation, given that many employees of the Horeca sector have found employment in other sectors. Now the premises are reopening and profiles for hospitality are even more difficult to find.
This problem doesn’t concern just a single country: throughout Europe it is difficult to find personnel.
Here are some numbers: in Italy, according to the Italian Federation of Public Businesses, 150,000 employees are currently lacking in catering.
In the UK, according to The Guardian, the number of online search ads in this industry has grown by 118%.
In Germany it is no better and according to a survey by Dehoga Bayern, mentioned by Der Tagesspiegel, 10-15% of the restaurant staff are currently unavailable because they moved to other sectors.
Finally, in France, 110,000 people, according to the CFDT (Confédération française démocratique du travail, that is to say the French Democratic Confederation of Labor) left the hospitality sector.
Within this general context, the job of the pizza maker is no exception and it is one of the most difficult specialized professionals to find in the market.
So how is it possible to face the difficulty in finding pizza chefs?
The solution comes by technology and in particular by Operaprima, the automatic professional Pizza Shaper that is able to replace the skilled labor during the dough stretching phase.
The patented technology imitates the expert hands of the pizza maker and this can be seen in the result. In fact, there is no difference between a pizza stretched with this technology and another opened by a human hand: the pizzas are artisanal and the quality is guaranteed thanks to the preserved gluten shield (we talked about it here).
In this case, dough stretching is completely replaced by the machine and the operator has only to season pizzas and cook them: these operations can be carried out while the machine stretches other doughs. Then production is faster and productivity increases: 180 pizzas can be made in one hour.
THE SOLUTION TO THE LACK OF QUALIFIED PERSONNEL
A further advantage, then, is that it is easy to understand how to use it and no specific skills are required. Consequently, there is no need to invest time in staff training: anyone can stretch the dough quickly in a few simple steps and without effort.
So, innovation can lead a practical answer can come to the post-pandemic problems in catering and to the difficulty of finding pizza chefs. For finding out more information about OperaPrima and asking us for a free demonstration without obligation click below.
