Labor
At Your Restaurant
Restaurant Headwinds
and Opportunity
Restaurant operators are at a crossroads. A good economy and tight labor market have made for a shortage of available food service workers. Wages, because of the shortage and new local minimum wage laws, are raising the cost of labor. Concurrently, technology and changing consumer habits are creating demand for different skill sets for employees.
Customer expectations, driven by new technology and easy access to information about everything related to food, make it more important than ever to have the right people working for you and having the right systems to assist in finding and maintaining the right people for your organization.
