The weather forecast for Easter is promising and Saxony's restaurants are ready for the first rush to the beer gardens. "The establishments are ready, the outdoor furniture is ready and the restaurateurs are looking forward to welcoming guests," Axel Klein, Managing Director of the German Hotel and Restaurant Association (Dehoga) in Saxony, told the German Press Agency. According to forecasts by the German Weather Service, temperatures of more than 20 degrees are expected in Saxony over the Easter weekend. "Perfect beer garden weather", emphasized Klein. However, the main problem is still the search for qualified staff.
Regionally, there are considerable differences in the hospitality industry, with fewer and fewer employers outside the major cities, Klein explained. In many cases, opening hours have been reduced and there are often two days off a week instead of one. In any case, running a restaurant is more than just employing a chef and waiter, Klein emphasized. It also always includes a reliable supplier of high-quality products, preferably from the respective region.
