McDonald's Perplexing Stance Regarding Employee Tips
In the latest episode of the Restaurant Business podcast, A Deeper Dive, the topic of the tip credit takes centre stage. This policy, which allows businesses to pay a lower wage to tipped workers if their tips make up the difference, has been a subject of debate for many years.
The podcast, hosted by Joe Kefauver, managing partner of Align Public Strategies and co-host of the Working Lunch podcast, delves into McDonald's stance on the tip credit. The fast-food giant has publicly stated that it is against the policy, a decision that has raised eyebrows in the industry.
Saru Jayaraman, president and co-founder of One Fair Wage, and Martin Murch, an independent restaurant operator out of Chicago, join the discussion to provide their perspectives. Jayaraman, a renowned advocate for fair wages, has been at the forefront of the movement to eliminate the tip credit. Murch, on the other hand, represents the viewpoint of many full-service restaurants that believe they need the tip credit to remain in business.
The journalist responsible for the topic of tip compensation at McDonald's, who was controversial on the previous A Deeper Dive podcast, is not publicly specified. However, their articles on the tip credit issue can be found on the Restaurant Business website, offering insights into the topic.
The podcast also examines whether the tip credit gives full-service restaurants an advantage. Many believe it does, but the debate continues as the industry grapples with the question of fair wages for all workers.
