Singapore F&B Sector Sees Progressive Wage Increases Starting March 2025
Singapore’s Food Services Sector continues to benefit from the Progressive Wage Model (PWM), with the latest wage increases taking effect from 1 March 2025. This PWM initiative ensures better wages for Singaporean and PR employees working in F&B roles, from waiters and kitchen assistants to cooks and managers.
If your business operates in the F&B industry, especially with restaurants, central kitchens, food catering, and banquet services, these wage updates are crucial for planning your manpower strategy.
