Earlier this year, a Charlotte-area Operator made headlines for doing something that changed the lives of team members. She offered to cover 100% of their college tuition by offering employer-sponsored education benefits.
“It’s a life-changing opportunity,” one team member shared.
“I didn’t think college was even in the picture for me.”
That kind of impact doesn’t just feel good. It drives real loyalty, retention, and long-term growth inside the restaurant.
And here’s the good news: You don’t need to be in the news to do the same thing.
Right now, independent Operators across the country are opening doors for their teams through education benefits that allows employees to earn accredited degrees with no out-of-pocket tuition costs.
The next enrollment deadline is September 3. That gives just enough time to identify strong candidates, get them enrolled, and start their journey this fall.
Education benefits aren’t just perks, they’re a strategy.
In fact, many Operators tell us that offering a college program changes how their team shows up, from confidence to communication to long-term commitment.
You don’t have to wait until next year.
And you don’t have to figure it out alone.
Let us show you how it works—and help you get everything in place before the September 3 deadline.
