-PIXY Launches MIAMI WORKS to Restore Miami’s Restaurant & Hospitality Industries by Connecting Business with On-Demand Workforce

On June 23r PIXY announced the launch of MIAMI WORKS, a staffing and recruiting campaign designed to help the restaurant and hospitality industry navigate the staffing shortage induced by the pandemic. In collaboration with local universities and community development groups, PIXY planned the first in a series of recruiting events for June 26th to help shift workers easily find job opportunities that offer living wages, a sign-up bonus, and flexible schedules, as well as healthcare, workers’ compensation and 401K benefits.

Following the global pandemic, South Florida is facing a severe staffing shortage, a major challenge for the city that thrives on hospitality and tourism business. MIAMI WORKS will help businesses more easily connect with and onboard willing and eligible workers to get their operations back on track, and effectively meet customer demand. Following the inaugural event, PIXY planned a 60-day marketing effort to connect the registered workforce to open positions in the Miami area across restaurants and other hospitality operators.

On top of the labor shortage impacting the restaurant and hospitality industry, third-party delivery services are facing a threat from some authorities of being forced to reclassify drivers from independent contractors to employees, putting their business model and the restaurants they serve at risk. PIXY can provide a stable platform that offers fair wages and benefits for these delivery workers, and allow restaurants to reduce their reliance on third-party services by ramping up their own recruiting and staffing efforts in order to meet pent up demand as COVID-19 restrictions ease up.

“We’re excited to be working with ShiftPixy and our local colleges and universities to address the latest labor challenges in the wake of COVID-19, and show our continued support of the local restaurant and hospitality industries,” said City of Miami Commissioner and Chairman of the Miami DDA Manolo Reyes. “Through the upcoming job fair, and other efforts to connect workers with businesses in these sectors, we’re helping our businesses solve their current staffing issues by promoting the economic, social and cultural health of downtown Miami, and leading the city through its post-pandemic recovery.”

“We’re thrilled to collaborate with ShiftPixy and Miami DDA to create a new avenue for shift workers to effectively identify opportunities at such an important time for the hospitality industry,” said Beatriz Gonzalez of Miami Dade College. “MIAMI WORKS and ShiftPixy are aligned with our mission to support the Miami community, and we encourage participation in ShiftPixy’s upcoming job fair at MDC’s Wolfson Campus.”

In addition to collaborating with Miami DDA, MIAMI WORKS is the embodiment of the local efforts PIXY has made alongside FIU Chaplin School of Hospitality, the company’s Ghost Kitchen Incubator program, FIU Embrace, and others to invigorate the Miami hospitality industry by starting with the most important component – the workforce.
