John Lewis cuts hundreds of jobs amid online shift
John Lewis already uses outside suppliers in a third of its restaurants and plans to adopt a uniform menu in all, meaning chefs will no longer be required. John Lewis said about 773 staff could be affected by redundancy but would be able to apply for 386 newly created posts. More than 40% of sales at John Lewis over Christmas were online. The staff-owned John Lewis Partnership, which includes Waitrose, said last month it expected staff bonuses to be "Significantly lower" than last year because of the challenging outlook for retail. Last year the 89,000 John Lewis and Waitrose staff received 10% of their salary as a bonus.
