Taco Bell to Test Paying Managers $100,000 a Year, Nearly Double Industry Standard
By Sara Shaw • January 16, 2020
Last week, Taco Bell announced that select managers at company-owned restaurants will receive an increase in salaries to $100,000 a year. The salary test will take place later in the year and the company has not selected which managers will receive the boost. Currently, the salary of a restaurant general manager at Taco Bell corporate stores ranges from $50,000 to $80,000 a year.
“Through these initiatives, Taco Bell aims to enhance restaurant performance, employee satisfaction and support recruitment and retention,” Taco Bell said in a statement released Thursday morning.
Other 2020 goals that the company announced include: enhancing it’s corporate policy on paid sick time; making all consumer-facing packaging worldwide recyclable, compostable or reusable, and add recycling and/or composting bins in all restaurants where infrastructure permits by 2025; increase Live Más Scholarships from $4 million to $6 million; and strive to be the No. 1 QSR brand for vegetarian options.
