5 Ways to Save Money for your Business

“Are your HR practices as hygienic as they could be?”
“Is your Payroll set up a little piecemeal?”
“Are compliance worries affecting your appetite?”

We know that as hospitality professionals, you are passionate about what you do, and that fabulous food and great customer service are your number one priorities – as they should be.

But as recent events and the resultant media coverage demonstrate, proper business processes are essential, too.

And it doesn’t matter whether you’re a multi-venue operation with hundreds of staff, or a small café with a handful of employees – your business MUST be compliant with its legal and Award obligations.

Staff are more aware than ever of their entitlements, and more confident and informed about pursuing them.

And now that the media spotlight has been turned onto the hospitality industry, there’s going to be an increased level of scrutiny – like you’ve never seen before.

And it’s not going to be acceptable to say, “I didn’t know” or “I’m not a business person” or “I didn’t mean for this to happen”.

The penalties for non-compliance are huge – and are not just financial.

They can also include:

  • Poor press coverage, word of mouth, and reputational damage
  • Reduced customer traffic
  • Increased staff turnover
  • Owners and investors being held criminally liable – which can impact on their ability to run/invest in further businesses
  • Conflict with staff
  • Stress, anxiety, and workplace/legal challenges that create a huge additional workload and take you away from all the things that drew you to the industry in the first place.
    Let us focus on your people and payroll issues, so you can ensure that your food stays centre stage – and your business keeps growing and thriving.
