Running a quick-service restaurant (QSR) is no small feat. It involves managing high customer demand, ensuring smooth kitchen operations, and overseeing your entire workforce.

One of the biggest challenges is staying compliant with all the labor laws and regulations, which can be complex and vary by jurisdiction.

Quick-service restaurants often operate in multiple locations, each with its own labor regulations, making it difficult to ensure compliance across the board. These labor laws can change frequently, further complicating compliance efforts.

Because QSRs typically rely heavily on an hourly workforce, business owners need to manage employee schedules, breaks, and overtime pay. They also need to follow predictive scheduling requirements, which becomes extra challenging in an industry with fluctuating demand.

Non-compliance with labor laws can have severe consequences for QSRs, including fines, penalties, legal action, and high turnover rates. It can also damage a company’s reputation and erode customer and employee trust.

By automating scheduling and time and attendance, applying pre-built compliance templates, and providing real-time alerts and monitoring features, Legion helps QSRs streamline compliance efforts and stay on the right side of labor laws.
Join us in exploring how the Legion WFM platform can help you transform every shift into a smooth-running operation.
