In this episode of Rising Tides Live, the conversation focuses on how restaurant operators can better manage their teams and labor costs in today’s challenging environment. Guest Jordan Boesch, CEO of 7shifts, joins host Shawn Walchef and the Rising Tides community to explore key lessons from The Restaurant Labor Playbook, a new guide created to help restaurants improve team productivity, retention, and profitability. Together, they discuss why building for the frontline matters, how scheduling impacts workplace culture, and what operators need to know about labor trends, compliance, and tech adoption. The group also dives into practical tools and mindsets for strengthening hospitality businesses through smarter labor management.
