Lille Allen/Eater. Can an app promising discount, end-of-day goods make a dent in America’s food waste problem? When I was 12 years old, I had a brief and desultory career as a babysitter. I counted the minutes until the kids went to bed and I could make good on their parents’ offer: Eat whatever snacks you like. I have no memory of the money I made or the families I worked for, but I do remember the thrill of opening other people’s kitchen cabinets to find a wealth of surprise treats.

As labor costs soar and the labor shortage persists, it has never been more critical for operators to ensure their employees are being paid correctly and that morale is high. Inaccuracies in wage distribution, particularly in regards to tips, can not only cause legal issues for restaurants, but they can also alienate workers if they aren’t being paid properly—which can exacerbate labor woes even further.
