Restaurant HR outsourcing FAQ
Straight answers for multi-unit restaurant operators evaluating outsourced HR.
What is restaurant HR outsourcing?
It’s partnering with specialists to run people operations—handbooks and policies, hiring systems, compliance support, employee relations, payroll coordination, and retention—so your operators can focus on guests and food, not HR fire drills.
Who is Touchstone for?
Multi-unit restaurant groups and operators who need professional HR without standing up a full internal HR department. We also work with single-location concepts preparing to scale.
What problems do you typically solve?
High turnover costs, inconsistent onboarding, multi-state/city labor compliance risk, messy employee disputes, weak people systems (evaluations, coaching, promotion paths), and owners stuck doing HR after midnight.
How much does it cost?
Published packages start at $500/month (Essential), $1,500/month (Professional), and $3,000/month (Enterprise). Final scope is set in a written agreement after we understand locations, states, and risk profile.
Do you provide legal advice?
No. We provide HR management and compliance support. We are not a law firm. For legal questions specific to your situation, use qualified employment counsel.
Can you support multi-state restaurant groups?
Yes—multi-unit and multi-jurisdiction complexity is a core reason operators outsource. We’ll map your footprint and prioritize policies, training, and processes accordingly.
How fast can we start?
