With so many restaurant owners desperate to find workers, could virtual cashiers taking orders via video chat from places like Bolivia or Nicaragua be a solution?

The latest data from Statistics Canada shows the food and hospitality sectors have lost roughly 171,000 workers since the COVID-19 pandemic began.“We were having restaurant owners call us and say, I need a Percy tomorrow, or I can't open my doors. My staff quit, or three of them got COVID and they can't come in for two weeks,” Argo said.Rajesh Patel is a Freshii franchise owner who has been using Percy for several months.Some have been, however.

“For someone living in Pakistan, it's much higher than a wage they’re used to seeing and they're able to have a really incredible quality of life,” says Argo. Though one person said he thought the human element was still missing and that you expect to see someone in-person taking your order.Many companies, particularly retailers, have been replacing cashiers with self-checkout machines. Argo says his company is creating job for humans.Ian Lee, an associate professor with Carleton University’s Sprott School of Business, says this all the result of a massive labour shortage that could last the next 50 years.

Pay a decent wage with benefits not just part time

hi I am Jennifer from Mumbai, er I mean Toledo

Well I know where I will Not be shopping. If you have a staffing issue... sound like a 'You' problem. Perhaps if you stop your discriminations on who you employee you would not have this problem.

Doesn't sound like a 'staffing shortage' sounds like they want cheap labour by outsourcing to other countries.

It's not a staffing shortage, it's a 'company isn't willing to pay a decent wage' shortage. If your business model involves paying people poverty wages, you shouldn't be in business.

Nicaragua is not “a distance” 🤡🤡🤡🤡
