I'd like to introduce my company, Inspirion, to you and yours. You're possibly familar with the PEO/Employee Leasing industry and might even be utilizing a PEO currently with your restaurants. My company is very familar with the restaurant industry and the employee related challenges that owners and GMs face daily. From fine dining to fast food to catering, we've seen it all and helped restaurant owners save money and reduce liability on their employee associated costs, including payroll, worker's compensation insurance and risk management. Please check out our website at inspirionhr.com and let me know if I can be of service to you. Thanks.
