Seattle Restaurant Alliance Board Report

October 2014

August 2014 – SRA Safeco Social

In lieu of an August membership meeting we hosted a social event at the Mariner’s game on

Wednesday, August 27th. The event was sponsored by Allied partners: Hanson Insurance

Group, Smith & Greene, Sysco and PepsiCo. It was a really fun day in one of the suites at

Safeco for the M’s vs Rangers day game. Approximately 35 SRA members and eight Allied

members attended. It seemed like a good opportunity for the Allieds to have a captive audience

with restaurateurs. I think it was a big success and would be worth doing again next year.

**August Leadership Meeting –

It had been awhile since all of leadership had met so we convened to get up-to-date on new and

existing issues. At that meeting we decided to cancel the September membership meeting

because the August Social fell so late in the month. We spent time discussing the progress

Josh and Morgan were making on the Labor Standards Advisory Group and minimum wage

rulemaking. Josh and Morgan created a sub-committee to advise them on important labor

points as they related to the restaurant industry. Josh and Morgan expected the LSAG work to

wrap up on September. Additional topics of our meeting included service charge and how to

legally inform our membership on the ins and outs of service charge. All leadership members

agreed that it was an important service to offer membership and that SRA should be a go-to

resource for people in all aspects of the minimum wage policy. Travis Rosenthal and Pete

Hanning had just traveled to Anaheim for the California Restaurant Association convention and

reported that there was a lot of interest in going to a service charge to accommodate minimum

wage increases in cities around their state. Finally, we discussed the new Hospitality PAC that

will be created for funding local Seattle races and issues and if and how we should partner with

the Seattle Hotel Association to raise money.

October Membership Meeting – Wednesday, October 8th

Attendance: around 40 people

Speakers: Patricia Lally, Karina Bull – City of Seattle Office of Civil Rights

With the wrap up of the Labor Standards Advisory Group in late September, we felt the timing

was good for a Q&A with Patricia Lally, the Director of the Office of Civil Rights. She was joined

by Karina Bull who works as their Political Analyst and Business Liaison. Ms. Lally spent time

explaining the recommendations of the LSAG and emphasized that her office would prioritize

education rather than penalization. The Office of Civil Rights is responsible for overseeing

Seattle Sick/Safe policy, thus making it an appropriate actor for the oversight of the new

minimum wage policy. Both Ms. Lally and Ms. Bull encouraged restaurateurs to reach out to

her office to get help and reiterated that their main goal will be to help business owners get into

compliance. Some discussion was had about random audits based on data suggesting

industries with a high instance of non-compliance; however it was not clear if the restaurant

industry fell into that category. Ms. Lally referenced the construction industry as one that they

often randomly audit because of the high instance of labor issues with undocumented,

temporary workers.

The second half of our meeting was dedicated to the Government Affairs team, who outlined the

issues on the forefront in Olympia. They gave a rundown of the upcoming November elections

and what is on the docket for the legislature in 2014. There is a lot of uncertainty around a state

minimum wage increase, but without pre-emption, no one in Seattle feels like it would mean

much for local businesses. We may be able to offer valuable talking points to restaurateurs

around the state and share strategy with other municipalities.
