What HR challenges are unique to restaurant hiring?

Restaurant hiring means high turnover, last-minute shift gaps, tip credit and overtime rules, minor work permits, and crews that are rarely at a desk to fill out paperwork. Workstream is built specifically for hourly, deskless restaurant teams, so hiring, onboarding, payroll, and compliance live in one place.

Does Workstream handle tip credit and overtime for restaurant payroll?

Yes. Tip credit and overtime can be applied directly in payroll, and Payroll AI can help flag potential issues for review, so managers have support catching problems before they become violations.

Can Workstream run payroll for multiple restaurant locations in one pay period?

Yes. Workstream processes payroll across multiple locations, brands, and pay rates in a single pay run, so multi-unit operators and franchise groups don't need to run payroll separately for each location.

What's the best hiring software for quick-service and fast-casual restaurants?

Workstream is built for high-volume, hourly hiring. Text-to-apply, QR codes at the register, VoiceAI screening, and Talent Network all help operators fill shifts fast without waiting on a slow applicant pool.

How does Workstream handle minor labor law compliance for restaurant crews?

Workstream tracks minor work permits and applicable state work-hour restrictions for employees under 18, and flags scheduling conflicts before a schedule is published.

How does Workstream support multi-state or multi-brand franchise groups?

Workstream automatically applies the correct labor laws, tax requirements, and compliance rules based on each location's state and municipality, so franchise groups get one platform with location-specific compliance built in.

Personal Information and Sensitive Personal Information

Before we discuss the right to limit and the right to opt-out, we must first define personal information and how it relates to sensitive personal information.

Personal information is any data that identifies, relates to, or could reasonably be linked to you or your household. A few examples of personal information include:

  • Name or nickname
  • Email address
  • Purchase history
  • Browsing history
  • Location data
  • Employment data
  • IP address
  • Profiles businesses create about you, including pseudonymous profiles (“user1234”)
  • Sensitive personal information

Sensitive personal information or “SPI” is a subset of personal information, defined as:

  • Identifying information (e.g. social security number, driver’s license)
  • Financial data (e.g. debit or credit card numbers)
  • Precise geolocation (within a radius of 1,850 feet)
  • Demographic or protected-class information (e.g. race/ethnicity, religion, union membership)
  • Biometric and genetic data (e.g. fingerprints, palm scans, facial recognition)
  • Communications and content (e.g. mail, email, text messages)
  • Health and sexual orientation (e.g. vaccine records, health history)

Right to Opt-Out

Californians have the right to opt-out of the sale and sharing of their personal information. That means you have the right to opt-out of the sale of your personal information to third parties (e.g. data brokers, advertisers). You also have the right to opt-out of the sharing of your personal information to prevent the targeting of ads across different businesses, websites, apps, or services.

CCPA-covered businesses must provide a link to allow you to exercise this right. It is usually found at the bottom of a webpage and will say “do not sell or share my personal information” or “your privacy choices.” Sometimes businesses offer privacy choices through a pop-up window or form

To opt-out of the sale and sharing of your personal information, click on the link or use the toggle provided by the business and follow the directions. Doing this on every website you visit can feel burdensome, but to ease the burden you can automatically select your privacy preferences for every website by using an opt-out preference signal, or OOPS for short.

An OOPS is a user-friendly and straightforward way for consumers to automatically exercise their right to opt-out of the sale and sharing of their personal information with the businesses they interact with online. An OOPS, such as the Global Privacy Control. It can either be a setting on your internet browser or a browser extension. With an OOPS, consumers do not have to submit individual requests to opt-out of sale or sharing with each business.

Right to Limit

Californians also have the right to direct businesses to limit the use and disclosure of their sensitive personal information.

Businesses covered under the CCPA must provide a link on their website that allows you to request the limiting of your SPI, if they plan on using it in certain ways. That link will also typically be at the bottom of a webpage and will say: “limit the use of my sensitive personal information” or “your privacy choices.” Once you send this request, the business must stop using your SPI for anything other than to:

  • Provide requested goods or services
  • Ensure security and integrity
  • Prevent fraud
  • Maintain system functionality
  • Comply with legal obligations

Bringing it Together

In summary, the CCPA gives you the right to opt-out of the sale and sharing of your personal information and gives you additional rights to further limit the use and disclosure of your sensitive personal information.

When you exercise these rights together, you exert greater control in protecting your personal data which is important for your identity, safety, and financial health.

If you are on a business’s website and you can’t find the links to exercise your rights, remember to check their privacy policy. The privacy policy should tell you how you can exercise your rights under the law.

If you find your rights being violated, you can submit a complaint to CalPrivacy.

Next in the LOCKED series, we will explore the right to correct and right to know. Follow us on social media to get live updates or check back in one week for the next post.
