Why is McDonald’s taking on the tip credit?

This week’s episode of the Restaurant Business podcast A Deeper Dive takes a hard look at the fast-food giant’s stand on the tip credit, which enables businesses to pay a subminimum wage to tipped workers, so long as the tips make up the difference.

We feature three guests on this podcast: Saru Jayaraman, the president and cofounder of the labor advocacy group One Fair Wage; Martin Murch, an independent restaurant operator out of Chicago, and Joe Kefauver, managing partner of Align Public Strategies and cohost of the Working Lunch podcast.

(Working Lunch also looked at the topic last week.)

We examine the tip credit, why McDonald’s and labor groups are against the wage and why many full-service restaurants believe they need it to remain in business. We also examine McDonald’s strategy in taking the topic on, and why it would choose to leave the National Restaurant Association over the issue. We also examine whether it really does give full-service restaurants an advantage.

We’re taking on the tip credit on A Deeper Dive so check it out.
