The Arizona Restaurant Association's bi-annual 10-day dining extravaganza, Arizona Restaurant Week, is on its way back to the Valley.

It is no secret that the biggest issue Arizona restaurant owners face is the labor issue. It is increasingly difficult for restaurant owners to find new employees and retain their best people. The labor market is dissipating as restaurant workers leave the industry in favor of Arizona industries that provide better pay, hours, and benefits. Despite an overall increase in restaurant worker wages over the last two years, it is not enough to retain good employees because other industries are paying more on top of providing benefits that are not as common in the restaurant industry. Workers have better options than working at a restaurant and owners are not addressing the issue at all. Arizona restaurant owners are scared to match the wages of other industries because they are concerned about passing that cost onto the customer. The cost of labor due to the market and an increase in the Arizona minimum wage as well as major increases in costs of goods due to inflation are squeezing Arizona restaurant owner margins. This is causing owners to reactively raise prices instead of proactively solving the labor issue. The reality is that owners need to think bigger than wages and start thinking about incentives. You can’t keep people in the restaurant industry based on wages alone because other industries are going to pay more. However, you can implement different revenue-sharing strategies as a way to create incentives to retain your best people. It is difficult for restaurant owners to compete with the wages in other industries, but many employees are passionate about working in the industry and would gladly stay if they were more invested in the business. Here are a few revenue-sharing strategies to improve retention in restaurant industry.
