In 2022, fortunately, there were no big problems in providing our catering sector with raw materials. Cost of products for the year soared by a third So the chances of businesses are getting smaller, even despite the constant increase in wages. They pay pretty decent money, because the market is quite monopolised by these companies, especially for defense industry enterprises and the fuel and energy complex. There are a lot of offers for young people on the labour market today, in addition, state-owned companies have begun to step on the heels of businesses today.
Thanks to this, the personnel problem has begun to be solved. We mainly employ young people under the age of 35, and now we have had to revise our hiring policy towards expanding the age restrictions to 45 years. Now we have a shortage of five or six staff in almost every pizzeria. However, the partial mobilisation that began in the autumn and the flight from it abroad in Russia created a new problem - a huge shortage of personnel. Our kitchens are not dimensionless, and the number of orders reaches the point that we had to put three ovens in each. Today, we need new restaurants to continue to provide and close the needs of the population. Raising the age limit to solve the personnel shortageīut the pessimistic mood still gave way to some stability, and I note that since about April the demand for this segment of catering in the country has been growing. From among the staff of restaurants, two employees have gone to the special military operation - we monitor their fate, provide the necessary assistance to their families. The outflow of couriers began during partial mobilisation - young people who fit the category of mobilised began to leave to the special military operation zone. As for the employees, no one has fled anywhere. And most often it is the most solvent part of the population who had money to move. We had fewer of them in Tatarstan, but we still had them. Although it is worth noting that we also lost a lot of customers when people began to leave Russia.īut to a greater extent, it probably affected Moscow and St.
Then many regular visitors of restaurants and cafes switched to home-made meals, to the middle segment, fast food establishments. But, despite everything, revenue showed growth - everything was growing and so were we.Īt the beginning of spring, the consumer market was shaken, consumer demand sank, the population was at a loss, many wondered what would happen then, and whether it was worth spending money on entertainment that time or whether it was better to cut costs, buy for the future. Then, in anticipation of something worse, we all became wary, grouped and decided to curtail our plans, although we had planned to open several new restaurants in Kazan and Almetyevsk.
Although, like everyone else, they were probably preparing for the worst: the special military operation was announced, and sanctions began to attack the country. We have passed through the previous year unexpectedly well. The market shaken at the beginning of spring Vyacheslav Miller, Tatarstan partner of Dodo Pizza international network, told about the problems with personnel and imported equipment, as well as what hinders the development of the industry, in the author's column for Realnoe Vremya. And yet the difficulties have not spared this area of catering. According to experts, the growth of indicators is associated with the withdrawal of visitors from restaurants and cafes to establishments with more democratic price tags. In the first six months, Russians spent 55 billion rubles in fast food establishments, or by 16% more than a year earlier. Despite the turmoil of 2022, the Russian market of fast food restaurants showed growth: trade turnover and average check have almost doubled.
