The article states that Taco Bell hosted 600 hiring parties across the nation last month in an attempt to differentiate itself from the fast-food competition. And it paid off: Taco Bell reportedly saw a 41% increase in applicants compared with last April.

As for retention, Shake Shack is reportedly testing a four-day workweek for managers, while Starbucks is offering full tuition coverage, health care, parental leave and restricted stock units. 

Chipotle recently introduced a new quarterly bonus program for hourly staff, plus tuition and health benefits. The brand&nbsp;said 83% of its current GMs are &ldquo;home grown,&rdquo; and promoted 13,000 employees last year, according to the article.

The Wolak Group, a franchisee which owns nearly 100 Dunkin&rsquo; locations, recently opened a new facility dedicated to training its system, personalizing the orientation for new hires and updating its managerial training.

These great benefits will surely help attract and retain restaurant employees&mdash;and the competition may heat up even more as a result.
