StaffMarket has PEO and employee leasing programs available for Restaurant companies across the United States. Over 10,000 companies have engaged StaffMarket to provide single point access to the entire Professional Employer Organization (Peo) industry.

Your Restaurant company is in business to make money. As a business manager your goals should be simple. Increased revenue (sales), decreased costs (expenses) equals more profit. However many times the administrative aspects of running a Restaurant business can overwhelm even the hardest working owners and managers. Spending precious executive time handling these tasks often means that a focus on revenue growth gets shortchanged. Engaging a PEO to handle these non-revenue producing activities can improve your Restaurant company’s opportunity for success and profit.

What can a PEO do for your company?

Payroll Administration

While many payroll services options are available for Restaurant companies, a professional employer organization (PEO) will take it one step further. In addition handling all payroll calculations for wages, taxes and benefits deductions, a PEO will also directly remit amounts due to the taxing authorities (state and federal) and also provide all insurance premiums to the carrier. Your company avoids the risk of fines for late payments. A PEO will ensure that your Restaurant company employees get advantageous tax treatment (section 125) so that any deductions for health insurance get deducted prior to tax calculations.Learn more about PEO payroll services.

Work Comp Insurance Administration

PEOs offer a great workers’ compensation insurance program for Restaurant companies. Obtaining competitively priced coverage is part of the program when you join a PEO. A Peo will provide your employees with work comp coverage (mandated in all states except Texas). In addition a PEO will help establish or improve your Restaurant company safety program. All claims are against the policy of the PEO and they will work to ensure claims are administered fairly and in a timely fashion. All PEO programs are “pay-as-you-go” and eliminate the need to make a large insurance deposit in order to get coverage in place.Learn more about PEO workers compensation insurance.

Health Benefits

Finding a PEO that provides the “best-fit” employee benefits program for your Restaurant company can be challenging. PEOs offer a wide variety of coverage plans and administrative options for managing your employee benefits plans. As the cost for health insurance has increased, PEOs have worked hard to keep costs in check. Contact StaffMarket for more information about PEO benefit plans available for your Restaurant company.Learn more about PEO Health Insurance and Employee Benefits.

HR Support

Using a PEO can help administrate your Restaurant company workforce. PEOs offer a full suite of HR related services that ensure your company is following the best practices available for your workers. The HR area can be a mine field of risks for the managers with out formal HR training or on-call expertise.Learn more about PEO HR Administration.

Businessweek.com - When McDonald’s (MCD) introduces a new menu item, the entire food industry feels it. The company added apples to its menu and became one of the country’s largest apple buyers. It put cucumbers on its new McWrap and now expects to buy 6 million pounds of cukes this year.

1. Mighty Wings are coming back. From Sept. 9 through November, McDonald’s is expected to sell a grand total of 250 million wings, and some analysts say McD’s wing-buying spree for this promotion last year drove up wholesale prices. Continue

NRN.com - Chains in The Next 20 are tracked by NRN as part of its Top 200 research. Brands qualifying for Next 20 inclusion have never been ranked in the Top 200, as former Top 200 qualifiers that have dropped in ranking because of declining sales are not eligible.

Restaurant.org - As the Internal Revenue Service looks at revising its voluntary tip agreements to improve tip-reporting rates in restaurants, the National Restaurant Association is urging the agency to simplify the agreements and provide employers and employees with greater protection from audits.

Some of the tip agreements – the IRS currently offers four -- are now 20 years old. The IRS announced this spring it’s looking into revisions across the board, especially to the Tip Reporting Alternative Commitment (TRAC) and Tip Rate Determination Agreement (TRDA). Thousands of restaurants have signed these agreements, but the agency maintains tip income remains significantly under-reported.

Restaurant employers who enter an IRS agreement generally agree to take on a bigger role in educating employees about tip reporting and taking steps to ensure more accurate employee tip reporting. Continue

According to court documents filed in Savannah, Ga., all claims against the TV chef have been dismissed in the suit brought by former restaurant manager Lisa Jackson, with no award of costs or fees to any party.

Since some 200 workers walked off their jobs at fast-food restaurants in New York City in November, the strikes have moved across the country, drawing attention to a fast-growing segment of the workforce that until recently had shown no inclination to organize for purposes of collective bargaining.

News of the incident spread when Trip Hosley — the owner of the Sauce restaurants — posted the text of the alleged threatening email from Groupon sales rep Andrew Johnston to Sauce's Facebook page:

Money.msn.com - Some famous American restaurant chains are becoming difficult, if not impossible, to find. As McDonald's (MCD) and Subway outlets proliferate, once-common eateries like Howard Johnson's and Ground Round are fading. Others have disappeared altogether.

The website 24/7 Wall St. turned to Technomic, a consulting and research firm serving the food industry, to identify chains that have vanished or moved overseas or have been reduced to doing business in just a few locations. In their heyday, these chains had hundreds, if not thousands, of restaurants. As of 2012, however, most had 25 or fewer restaurants.

What happened? According to Technomic's Darren Tristano, troubles can often be traced to increased competition from the likes of Applebee's, TGIF, Olive Garden and Red Lobster.

"Those brands did better in terms of expansion," Tristano said. "Those that couldn't keep up and didn't have the franchises or the financing struggled."
