Restaurant Expert Witness, Restaurant Consultant, and CEO, Howard Cannon believes that the restaurant industry needs to pay closer attention to safety and security, stating, "Government agencies recommend monthly safety meetings with staff and management, but very few follow that advice. Too often, there is poor training and lack of focus on safety and security for customers or the restaurant staff; and, there is little or no commitment to following up on the training that does exist."

Restaurant Expert Witness, Restaurant Consultant, and CEO, Howard Cannon continues to state that "requiring wait-staff to participate in a ‘tip pool' is poor management and should be illegal." Tip pooling continues to be a controversial subject in the food service industry, as well as the topic of numerous lawsuits by restaurant employees and a focus of legislation being considered by several states.

Restaurant Expert, Howard Cannon, of Restaurant Consultants of America, has worked in restaurant operations for more than 24 years, teaching restaurant owners and restaurant managers how to be successful. According to Cannon, "Requiring waiters and waitresses to participate in a ‘tip pool' is one of the worst management decisions that a restaurant owner can make."
