A pub I know has had 7 managers in 12 months! Why do pub companies continue to have such bad employment practices?
Don’t they realise that this is highly inefficient?

It is good for the company when the managers are only there for a short time as they do not have to pay them holiday or sick pay, some don't even pay the full wage until you have been employed for 6 months.
It's just another way of companies saving money

Some times, you have to turn over the help until you find one that suits the business, be it seven or twelve times. If the present one isn't doing a good job, or isn't right for the business, then you have to let him/her go.
You can't have an unsocial person running a pub it's bad for business. You can't have some one doing the books that don't know what they're doing even if they get along well with customers. You have to turn them over until you find the right combination that works for the situation.

not only inefficient, but if you use a pub regularly - Ti's nice to get to know staff.. and having worked in the past in pubs and bars, the turn over of new managers is frustrating!

Pub managers tend to get a "power" head on and then start making claims that they own the place to customers. That really annoys the owners.

Not a good idea. Staff will get unruly and not know where they stand as they are constantly adjusting to each manager's own way of working.
But most importantly, the punters will leave as a paying customer wants to know the manager and feel like they belong.. Just like "Cheers"...Sometimes you wanna go where everybody knows your name!

They're proabably not paying enough. Or they're hiring jacka$$es who steal or do drugs or something. But that probably goes back to wages, too.

They realise but clearly don't have a good recruitment and retention programme
