For Restaurant Operators

Employee Benefits Solutions for Restaurant Operators

Cut benefits costs by up to 47% while offering your team coverage that reduces turnover — because margins are too thin for overpaying.

Challenges Facing Restaurant Operators

In an industry where every dollar counts, benefits costs are one of the few levers that can move the needle on both profitability and retention.

Thin Operating Margins

Labor costs already consume 36%+ of revenue. Overpaying for benefits directly erodes profitability.

70%+ Annual Turnover

The restaurant industry leads all sectors in turnover. Competitive benefits are one of the few retention levers that work.

ACA Compliance for 50+ Employees

Restaurant groups crossing the 50 FTE threshold face employer mandate requirements that catch many operators off guard.

Benefits That Actually Get Used

High-deductible plans that employees can’t afford to use are the same as no benefits at all for retention purposes.
