Learn about employment law and why formal staffing systems matter.
Independent restaurants and foodservice businesses such as caterers, food trucks, cafes, and bakeries
Description:Staffing is a constant concern for foodservice businesses of all sizes, especially in the pandemic.
Small restaurants are a labor of love, and in many cases, that means calling on everyone you love to lend a hand: family, friends, friends of family, family of friends, and so on. Unfortunately, being an employer is much more than just getting people to show up for their shifts!
In this webinar, Kim Pederzani of Toast will present ways to formalize employment in your business, such as:
Formal staffing practices are often required by law, and can also be necessary for businesses that wish to access grants and other types of financial aid (for example, PPP loans). Kim will also share recommendations for working with lawyers on employment and other legal issues.

What questions should you be asking? How do you want your financials organized? How much should you be paying?
He will review some common pitfalls in restaurant-specific accounting that, when addressed, can make your financial statements more accurate and more useful to you as a business owner. We’ll cover topics such as:
If you’ve ever wondered whether you should trust your accountant, think of this session as getting a second opinion.
