Tourism and food service employers are asking for labor to be imported from abroad
Hospitality employers are asking for the importing of at least 80,000 workers from third countries, such as Bangladesh, Pakistan and the Balkans, with the aim of filling vacant positions.
According to data from the tourism and food service industries, last season vacancies reached 60,000, with Greece now proceeding with interstate agreements, such as that recently voted on by the Parliament with Egypt, for foreign citizens to come to Greece for the purpose of employment in the agricultural sector.
In total, it is estimated that more than 100,000 workers from other countries could come to Greece and fill job vacancies at hotels, in specific positions at food service companies (in the kitchens), in reception areas, as waiters, as well as vacancies in positions such as outdoor laborers.

Not just the UK then that's lacking hospitality staff, also read a report recently that said hospitals in Madrid urgently needed staff of all kinds.

Certainly in Kef last summer so many food establishments were struggling to get waiting staff (for around 2.50-3 euro an hour).
