Happy Birthday to our amazing COO, Emily Ann Yarbrough! 🎂

Her leadership helps drive us forward, but it's her heart of gold that makes such a lasting impact. Emily's dedication to our team, our clients, and our mission makes a difference every single day, and we're incredibly grateful for all she does.

Emily, thank you for being the steady hand, the trusted leader, and the person who always shows up for others. We are lucky to have a COO who leads with both grit and grace and keeps us all moving in the right direction.

Warm ocean breezes and skies so blue and light.

And every little moment feel happy, fun, and right.

As restaurant brands grow, the HR, payroll, compliance, leadership, and employee relations challenges grow right alongside them.

At Restaurant HR Group, we help restaurant companies gain more experience, more support, more responsiveness, more strategic guidance, and an entire team of restaurant HR and payroll professionals behind them, without the stress of trying to build it all internally alone.

What started as a partnership with 10 locations across 3 states has now grown to 28 locations in 4 states, and we are incredibly grateful to continue supporting the amazing team at CKJ Eateries/ Newk's Eatery throughout that journey. ❤️

Todd, thank you so much for the incredibly kind words, trust, and partnership over the years. It means the world to our entire team.

"Joann Skiba has been our main point of contact for several years and is truly part of the team/family.”

That is exactly the type of partnership we strive to create with every client we support.

THANK YOU, Todd and team! And thank you, Joann, for being so amazing.❤

The biggest risks in restaurants usually aren’t the ones making noise.

They’re the quiet compliance gaps happening behind the scenes.

Restaurant operators juggle so much every day and small HR and payroll issues can quickly become expensive problems:

◾ I-9 compliance
◾ Overtime and wage & hour rules
◾ ACA administration
◾ Employee documentation
◾ Unemployment claims management
◾ Wage statement compliance
◾ Benefits eligibility and administration

These details impact labor costs, legal exposure, employee experience, and long-term growth.

At Restaurant HR Group, we help restaurant owners and operators reduce risk, stay compliant, strengthen their people practices, and build scalable HR systems that support growth.

We exist to help make sure nothing slips through the cracks.

Protect your people. Protect your brand. Protect your future.

This Memorial Day, we pause to honor and remember the brave men and women who made the ultimate sacrifice in service to our country.

To our restaurant community and beyond, we wish you a meaningful Memorial Day as we take time to reflect with gratitude. ❤️🤍💙

Some things just work better as a team. 👏

Like:

🍔 Burgers + Fries
☕ Coffee + Donuts
🎬 Dinner + a Movie

…and in the restaurant world?

👉 HR + Payroll.

Because when HR and payroll operate separately, things can easily fall through the cracks:

❌ Miscommunication
❌ Compliance risks
❌ Employee frustrations
❌ Inconsistent processes
❌ More stress for operators and leaders

But when HR and payroll work together under ONE aligned team? 🔥

✔ Better communication
✔ Stronger employee support
✔ Smoother onboarding + terminations
✔ More accurate payroll processing
✔ Better compliance oversight
✔ More consistency across locations
✔ Less stress for restaurant leaders

At Restaurant HR Group, we believe HR and payroll should never feel disconnected.

That’s why we provide restaurant groups with integrated HR, payroll, benefits, compliance, employee relations, leadership support, and people solutions…all working together as one team to support your business and your people. ❤️

Because great restaurant operations don’t just happen through good food.

They happen through strong people systems, leadership, communication, and support. 💪

Behind every growing restaurant brand is a challenge most operators eventually face:

“How do we continue finding, training, and retaining strong HR and payroll people as we grow?”

And honestly? That challenge is only getting harder.

Finding ONE great HR or payroll person is difficult enough. Building an entire internal department with the right experience, responsiveness, compliance knowledge, payroll accuracy, benefits expertise, employee relations support, leadership development, and restaurant industry understanding? That’s a whole different level.

Well guess what, WE'VE GOT YOU!

We become an extension of your restaurant business and leadership team, helping eliminate the stress of:

✔ Recruiting HR and payroll talent
✔ Training and developing internal teams
✔ Coverage gaps and turnover
✔ Compliance worries and costly mistakes
✔ Managing HR and payroll and disconnected systems

Instead, you gain an experienced team of restaurant HR, payroll, benefits, compliance, employee relations, and leadership professionals…already built, already trained, and already passionate about helping restaurant brands grow. 🔥

And this is not “basic outsourced support.”

We support restaurant groups with hundreds of locations and thousands of employees across the country every single day.

From payroll and benefits administration…to compliance, investigations, onboarding, leadership coaching, training, recruiting support, and scaling infrastructure…

❤️ We handle it.
❤️ We lead it.
❤️ We help simplify it.

The restaurant industry moves fast. Your HR and payroll support should move faster. 💪

Great teams are shaped by the people who invest in each other every day.

Shannon’s words reminded us that support isn’t just about tools, training, or solving complex challenges. It’s about showing up for one another, sharing insight, bringing a little humor when it’s needed, and creating a team people are proud to be part of.

Thank you, Shannon, for everything you bring to Restaurant HR Group and for helping make our team stronger every day. ❤️

And thank you to the Caffeinated Bandits and our entire team for the support and passion you bring to our clients and each other.

At Restaurant HR Group, we understand how restaurants really operate and that restaurant HR isn't a one size fits all solution.

Restaurants operate in a high-speed environment where labor, compliance, onboarding, payroll, leadership, employee relations, customer experience, retention, and profitability all intersect every single day.

That’s why our approach is different.

We combine restaurant operations experience with HR expertise to help restaurant leaders build stronger teams, reduce risk, improve processes, and scale with confidence.

We partner with restaurant brands to support:
• Restaurant HR strategy and ex*****on
• Restaurant compliance and labor guidance
• Payroll and benefits administration
• Multi-unit restaurant operations support
• Leadership coaching and manager development
• Employee relations and performance management
• HRIS and implementation support

The big differentiator? We don’t offer generic HR solutions.

We understand every one of the restaurant groups we support is different, and we build our partnership with support and systems that work for them.

Because restaurant success starts with people, but it succeeds through operations.

Our mission is simple... create more restaurant success stories.

We would love to support your success story.

Behind many successful restaurant brands are strong leaders, clear vision, family values, and a willingness to evolve. 💪🔥

We recently listened to a great interview from Pat Buckley featuring Kavrin McGuire of 825 Ventures, a multi-unit Jersey Mike's Subs operator and client of Restaurant HR Group, and there were so many great leadership and growth takeaways throughout the conversation.

One thing that really stood out?

The importance of building businesses with strong culture, trust, relationships, and long-term vision…especially in family-driven operations where leadership and legacy intersect. ❤️

It was also exciting to hear about their continued growth and expansion plans, including entering into Mike’s Red Tacos.

At Restaurant HR Group, we love partnering with restaurant groups that are focused on growth, people, leadership development, and building something meaningful for the long term.

Restaurant success is never just about food.

It’s about people, leadership, systems, culture, and ex*****on. 👏

Happy Birthday, Michelle Lauzon!

Birthdays are such a special reminder to slow down and celebrate the people who make life brighter for everyone around them and today is all about celebrating YOU.

Michelle, you naturally makes people feel welcomed, supported, and cared for. Whether it’s through your positivity, encouragement, or simply showing up for others, you have a way of making every day a little better for the people around you.

We hope your day includes all your favorite things…maybe some tacos, a Tropical Smoothie Cafe stop, an amazing crab cake, and plenty of moments that make you smile as much as you make others smile every day.

Today is all about celebrating the difference you make and hoping your birthday brings you just as much happiness as you give to everyone else. Enjoy every minute of it! ✨
