Productivity

Labour shortages are the top challenge that
commercial restaurants face today. The average age of
a restaurant worker is between 16 and 24 years. In a
recent survey conducted by the National Restaurant
Association in USA, over 52% of respondents said
that finding qualified motivated labour was their main
concern.
Room air temperature affects a person s capacity to
work. Comfortable thermal conditions decrease the
number of accidents occurring in the work place.
When the indoor temperature is too high (over 28 C
in commercial kitchens) the productivity and general
comfort diminish rapidly.
The average restaurant spends about $2,000 yearly on
salaries in the USA, wages and benefits per seat.
