The Caterer Tipping and Payment Summit
New government legislation setting out how employers must handle tips and service charge is to come into force imminently. This online event will tell you exactly what you need to do to be compliant with the new rules and the government-mandated code of conduct.
Our experts will also discuss how you can put in place a system that will keep you and your teams happy, and how to communicate effectively with guests about service charges and tips, as well as:
• Everything you need to know about the new tipping legislation that comes into effect later this year
• How to remain compliant when it comes to tipping and payment
• And how are operators ensuring a fair and transparent distribution of tips?
In this summit, you will learn
- What do operators need to consider when putting in new systems to meet compliance?
- Is it better to use troncs or allocate tips directly?
- Where should you publish your written policy on tipping to adhere to new legislation?
- How should businesses communicate changes to their workforce?
- And what do guests want to know about your tipping policy and how do you alleviate their concerns?
