By Mark Chapman, General Manager, Stannah Microlifts

issues

Staff shor tages have been a challenge for British hospitality businesses, with data from the Office for National Statistics (ONS) showing a 56% increase in staff shor tages in the accommodation and food ser vice sector compared to pre-pandemic levels

To tackle this issue , businesses have had to turn to technolog y to ensure they can operate efficiently with fewer staff members One option that can be easily implemented is the addition of ser vice lifts to business premises These lifts can move items like food, beverages, laundr y, and luggage more efficiently between floors reducing the manual time and effor t required for tasks This can help businesses run smoothly even with smaller teams, preventing waiting times from becoming unacceptable for customers

Ser vice lifts like the Microlift or Trolley lift can also reduce the risk of injur y for staff and improve staff wellbeing by reducing physical strain making the workplace more inclusive for those with disabilities or mobility
