Taco Bell has announced that it will test a 6-figure salary for some general managers after sustaining growth for several consecutive years.
“As Taco Bell expands its footprint, our responsibility to drive positive impact increases,” Mark King, the chain’s chief executive officer, said in the statement. “Our business growth in the last decade has positioned us to create change for good and implement creative solutions for our planet, our people and our food. We’re excited to shake things up and make 2020 even more about what matters most: our purpose.”
A surging U.S. economy and low unemployment have also made it more difficult for the restaurant chain to find and retain high-quality staff. Ferril Onyett, Taco Bell senior director of global training and international human resources told FOX Business, the goal,
“is to enhance restaurant performance, boost morale and satisfaction, while supporting recruitment and retention,”
Taco Bell will also offer 24 hours of paid sick time per calendar year for all corporate-owned restaurant employees.
