From third-party delivery drivers to in-restaurant employees, the bucket of labor laws and other regulations that U.S. restaurant operators must know and follow is overflowing. Worse yet, these legal mandates change depending on the cities and states your brand operates in, making the task of staying in compliance an essential, but headache-rendering job for just about any brand. After all, the cost of not doing so can be steep — with U.S. restaurants nationally expected to dole out more than $30 million in compliance fees alone. 

There is help though, from experts who make it their jobs to help you do your jobs of leading restaurant brands a little easier, less mystifying and stress-inducing when it comes to labor law compliance — no matter where you are. That's the subject of the upcoming free live webinar, "Labor compliance: What you Need to Know to Avoid Major Fees in 2020," taking place at 2 p.m. Eastern on Thursday, Sept. 26, from the labor law pros at 7shifts. 

In this hour-long learning session, participants will get the state-by-state lowdown on labor compliance now, as well as a look at what currently pending legislation could mean for brands and what leadership needs to know and do to stay on the right side of the law. Included in this laid-back, but professional session on the topic are some glimpses at how limited-service brands today are tackling compliance as well as guidance on effective strategies and tactics to reduce your brand's potential risks of running afoul of the mandates. 

Joining webinar moderator and QSRweb and Pizza Marketplace Editor Shelly Whitehead during this session are 7shifts founder and CEO Jordan Boesch, as well as Aaron H. Cole, Of Counsel in the Los Angeles legal firm office of Ogletree Deakins.

The session promises to be a potentially money- and hassle-saving hour for future-minded restaurant brand leaders and franchisees. Please register here and join us Sept. 26.
