Sessions for Ross Groeneweg
Navigating Complex Labor Laws & Rising Labor Costs
Location: Grand Sonoran BIn our 2023 Restaurant Operations Report, respondents shared that stores are insufficiently staffed—either understaffed or overstaffed—for 38% of shifts in any given week. With the added challenges of complicated labor laws and minimum wage hikes, it’s no wonder that more than half indicated they plan to invest in labor scheduling technology in the coming year.
Join us to hear how top restaurant chains navigate these challenges and put themselves in a position to grow and succeed in today’s complex labor environment. Our prestigious panel of operations leaders will share the best practices their organizations are using right now to manage minor laws, fair workweek laws, and overtime and penalty pay, all while optimizing schedules in order to compensate for rising labor costs and continued staffing shortages.
