KARE App Announces Hospitality Heroes, Launch Into Atlanta
Summary
KARE will open their app to furloughed cooks, maintenance, waitstaff, receptionists and housekeepers. “While the coronavirus has devastated the hospitality industry, the need for these positions has never been stronger for our caring communities,” said Charles Turner, CEO of KARE. “We have the perfect technology to put these folks back to work, so we rapidly accelerated our development to help both workers and our caring communities.” In addition to hospitality roles, KARE will be expanding their app to the Atlanta, Georgia market. “Our customers and partners have been encouraging us to expand to Atlanta as our next major market, and this represents a logical extension of our current customer relationships.” The timing of the hospitality roles and geographic expansion can’t come soon enough as most states, as well as CMS, is mandating regular COVID testing for both residents and staff. If pervasive enough, expect an instant 25% to 50% reduction in staffing levels due to illness, fear or agency movement restrictions.
