How Southcoast Services Can Help Solve Staffing Shortages in Hotels.

The hospitality industry continues to face a significant challenge—staffing shortages. According to a recent survey by the American Hotel & Lodging Association (AHLA), 67% of hotels reported ongoing staffing shortages, with 12% describing their situation as “severely understaffed.” Housekeeping remains the most critical need, with nearly half of respondents ranking it as their top hiring priority. Despite increases in wages, flexibility, and benefits, the industry still struggles to fill open positions.

At Southcoast Services, we understand the difficulties hotels face in maintaining a fully staffed team. As a leading provider of hospitality staffing solutions in Arizona, we’re here to bridge that gap. With years of experience in the industry, we specialize in providing reliable, qualified staff to hotels, ensuring smooth operations even during tough times.

Why Hotels are Struggling with Staffing

The staffing shortage in the hospitality industry has been a growing issue, especially after the pandemic. Although wages have hit a record high, reaching an average of $23.91 per hour, and hotels are offering more flexibility and benefits than ever before, the demand for workers continues to exceed supply. Hotels are currently trying to fill an average of nine positions per property, with housekeeping being the most affected area.
