By the end of June in St. Petersburg, companies in the fields of tourism, catering, agriculture and construction were looking for more than 1.6 thousand chefs,1.7 thousand waiters, 1,800 cleaners, 200 hostesses, 400 movers, 1 thousand couriers, 400 restaurant managers. About this on July 22 with reference to the data hh.ru reports "Business Petersburg".

It is noted that in the restaurant and hotel business there is not only an increase in demand, but also an increase in fees. So, in May of this year, St. Petersburg waiters were promised an income of 75 thousand rubles, in the middle of summer it had already reached 78 thousand rubles. The situation is similar with chefs: income growth by 3 thousand rubles per month (up to 89 thousand).

"We are offering a summer rate for the season, thus solving the problem of turnover in the team. We also cooperate with culinary colleges and recruit interns and junior chefs from there. The situation in the hall is more cheerful, we hire additional temporary staff for the season — students for summer part—time work, in high season they are motivated by tips," said Irina Romanova, owner of Atlas Vin Bistro restaurant.

In hh.ru We have noticed that St. Petersburg employers associated with HoReCa have become 49% more likely to mention additional bonuses and bonuses in vacancies when working during the high season, that is, in summer and in September. Hotels are also recruiting additional staff — the high tourist season in St. Petersburg for businesses involves strenuous work and higher income than in other months.

Olga Kiselyova, General Director of the Admiralteyskaya Hotel, said that the company has created a bonus system — with an increase in workload, all employees receive allowances calculated based on an increase in the volume of work.
