Top insights about Local Cafes for June 8, 2020
- Shifts took a nosedive this week following a whopping 22,297 shifts being created on June 1st. As of June 8th, 2,801 shifts have been created. This may be due to updated regulations rolled out by cities/counties/countries that are re-opening cafes.
- Similar to shifts created, we're seeing a significant drop in the number of shifts scheduled and worked. Currently the gap between the two is 26.1%. That said, we could see this number change as re-opening strategies emerge.
- Communication with workers regarding COVID-19 has died down in the last several weeks. This, in part, could be due to businesses putting together their "return to work" strategies and/or waiting on more information for re-opening from government officials. Currently, COVID-19 makes up 3.7% of all communications happening on the platform.
