For the restaurant sector, where minimal tasks can be automated, it will be very difficult to comply with the reduction in working hours proposed by the Mexican government, which is why they consider tax incentives for businesses necessary.
Iván Nolasco Cruz, president of Canirac in Baja California, noted that 7 out of 10 jobs in the service sector are generated by the restaurant sector, which already has tax burdens that complicate its operation.
He noted that, although they do not oppose the reduction in working hours, businesses will have to make financial adjustments to hire more staff and announced that they will request tax incentives to keep their restaurants operating.
