Having worked with a wide range of golf clubs, Entegra understands the challenges faced across the sector and can provide tailored advisory services and labour solutions to help you overcome them. Here are some ways in which we can help along with actionable strategies you can put in place.
As golf clubs prepare for the busy months ahead, labour shortages, particularly among skilled agronomists and chefs, present a significant challenge. Balancing competitive wages with rising membership fees requires strategic innovation.
Quick Strategies to Combat Labour Shortages
At Entegra, we've observed golf clubs implementing strategies to boost efficiency and optimise workforce allocation. Below are a few examples:
Shifting to Grab-and-Go options: Some clubs have reduced staffing needs during weekdays by offering grab-and-go breakfast and lunch options, along with on-course snack stands.
Exploring unmanned micro-markets: Tech-forward clubs are even piloting unmanned micro-markets where members can make purchases without a cashier, with transactions automatically charged to their accounts.
Optimising kitchen operations and SKUs: Simple changes like using pre-cut ingredients or a shelf-stable base for soups and sauces can significantly improve kitchen prep times and staff productivity.
Temporary Labour Services for Seamless Operations
Temporary labour services have long been an option for golf club managers. With Entegra, you gain access to discounted rates on planned or on-demand staffing through our supplier partners. This flexibility helps you meet peak periods or sudden shortages efficiently, particularly during events, banquets, or holidays when golf courses see increased traffic.
