Discover trends and techniques leading Australian brands adopt during Q4 in the special webinar below.

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.

What you’ll learn

• How hiring and training practices change for QSR and retail businesses in the lead up to Q4
• What to consider when engaging juniors vs more experienced team members
• Strategies to improve rostering efficiency and productivity when staff are on the clock.
