These offerings come at a critical time for restaurants, when people challenges are escalating. According to the isolved HR Leaders Report 2025, retaining talent is now the number-one organizational concern for restaurants, and 62% of HR leaders say a shortage of qualified candidates is the biggest threat to talent acquisition. Among restaurant HR leaders, that number climbs even higher, with 64% reporting their industry is facing a talent crisis. Combined with isolved’s Voice of the Workforce 2024-2025 research, which found 79% of employees are experiencing burnout, restaurants face growing urgency to rethink how they support and engage their teams.
Papaya Global, the company reshaping workforce payments, today announced the launch of a dedicated platform for contingent teams in enterprises and managed service providers (MSP) to manage, pay, and scale their external workforce. Whether centralized or distributed, contingent workers – from freelancers and consultants to gig workers and independent contractors – are essential to modern business yet are often managed with outdated or fragmented systems.
Unveiled at the CWS Summit in London, Europe’s leading event for contingent workforce strategy, Papaya’s new platform – Contingent OS – is the first enterprise-grade solution built to unify the full external workforce lifecycle. It connects the dots between vendor management systems (VMS), payroll compliance, invoice verification, and instant global payments – enabling true end-to-end orchestration for contingent workforce programs at scale.
