- How can you make it easier for employees to receive their tips?
- What is the future of service charge?

Attendees will have the opportunity to submit questions about the implications of the new legislation and the systems they need to have in place when it becomes law.
Tips and service charge have long been a challenging area for hospitality. Our panel of operators will share their insights into setting up systems that are fair and open as well as communicating effectively with their teams.
We’ll also discuss the role service charges and tips play in hospitality, and whether the desire for change following their exclusion from furlough payments during the pandemic has waned.
