Restaurant group owners: We need to talk retirement plans. Did you know? The restaurant industry lags behind in retirement benefits, with the lowest plan participation across all sectors. Yet, offering these benefits can attract top talent, set you apart from competitors, and can even provide tax credits. Let's break down the top 3 retirement plan options for restaurant groups: 401(k) Plans: Pros: ✅ Highest contribution limits ($23,000 in 2024) ✅ Flexible employer contributions ✅ Vesting schedules (ideal for high turnover industries) Cons: ❌ More complex administration ❌ Potentially higher costs (though modern solutions are changing this) SIMPLE IRAs: Pros: ✅ Easier setup ✅ Lower administrative costs Cons: ❌ Lower contribution limits ❌ Mandatory employer contributions ❌ No vesting schedules SEP IRAs: Pros: ✅ High contribution limits ✅ Straightforward administration Cons: ❌ Employer funds all contributions ❌ Must contribute equally for all eligible employees The verdict? 401(k)s often provide the best balance for most restaurant groups, especially those looking to scale.

Unsurprisingly, the food service industry is behind other industries in offering retirement plan benefits to employees. It's hard enough to keep labor costs low, so the idea of providing retirement plan benefits is a fantasy for most operators. Plan participation is the lowest of all industries, and average account balances place second to last, according to a 2022 Defined Contribution Plan benchmarking survey conducted by PlanSponsor. Nonetheless, restaurants can offer employees a retirement benefit plan to attract top talent, set themselves apart from their competitors, and receive some tax credits. The ideal retirement benefit plan varies for every industry, business size, and owner. The goal is to choose the most straightforward retirement benefit plan that attracts and retains top talent while providing a return on investment for owners. A 401(k) plan is the most suitable retirement plan for restaurants, as explained in my new article below! #401ks #retirementplan #restaurantfinance #benefits #cfotips #cpatips #accounting #restaurantaccounting #restaurantmanagement
