Restaurants in Mumbles have been left exasperated by customers booking tables only to cancel at the last minute and leaving them in the lurch.
With the hospitality industry taking a huge hit since the coronavirus pandemic broke out across the UK more than two years ago, it was hoped that businesses and restaurants could enjoy a fruitful and profitable spring and summer in 2022 after challenging times in 2020 and 2021. However, despite Covid restrictions in Wales coming to an end in recent weeks and months, restaurants and bars are facing different types of challenges during the busy Easter holiday period.
Many businesses have complained of staff shortages in recent weeks, with some not even able to open due to a lack of people able to work for one reason or another. If that wasn’t already putting enough strain on business owners in the hospitality industry, the problem has been heightened further when they've had enough staff but not enough customers thanks to last-minute cancellations.
