Q4 is the grand final for many retail and QSR businesses. Preparation often begins months in advance and includes hiring new employees, training them, and rostering them whilst ensuring wage costs are low enough to remain profitable. Staying compliant with the General Retail Industry Award (GRIA) and the Fast Food Industry Award (FFIA) adds an extra challenge, especially when most businesses are operating with extended trade, hiring more juniors, and keeping up with increased demand.
In this session, Tanda's Head of Insights - Dan Self - is joined by experts from the retail industry and QSR industry with decades of experience in tackling these challenges.
