Job offers in the HORECA (Hotel, Restaurant, and Cafe) sector are increasing, but the research for pizzaiolo is getting more and more difficult. OperaPrima, the innovative automatic pizza stretcher developed and produced in Italy by Ecor International, is the answer to all the job search ads that have fallen on deaf ears and the definitive solution to this situation.

Easy to use, speed of execution, versatility, quality, and convenience improve the efficiency of the pizzeria.

Offers vs job applications

Online job offers have grown in the second half of 2021 in Italy: in fact, Istat (Italian institute of statistics) found an increase of 121 thousand employed in the third quarter of 2021 together with a decrease in the unemployed and inactive. In this positive picture, ho.re.ca is one of the sectors where placement opportunities are greatest.

By the way, pizzerias struggle to find pizzaioli and the gap between labour supply and demand is significant.

But if a new hiring season started in the second half of last year, showing further growth in job opportunities compared to the first half of the year, why is the gap between supply and demand in the restaurant industry still so great?

Is it an economic issue? To see the job ads, you wouldn’t think so: according to the remuneration tables of FIPE, the gross monthly salary of a pizzaiolo can go well over 2,000 euros, while the gross annual average is 20,700 euros, but the most experienced and qualified pizzaioli can even reach 36,000 euros a year.

This mismatch between offers and job applications puts in difficulty entrepreneurs in the food sector, especially restaurants and pizzerias, unable to find experienced and competent staff, who sometimes demonstrate a lack of willingness to learn or to work during the weekends.

So, how can a pizzeria owner solve the problem of finding a pizza chef?
