In this week’s episode of the Working Lunch podcast, Align Public Strategies goes over multiple issues affecting restaurant operators. California is looking to require food handler certification for third-party delivery drivers and there are all kinds of implications, not the least of which is joint-employer liability.

And cities are increasingly getting into the anti-corporate game. The team looks at two cities that are attempting to influence who suppliers are. The Align crew also re-examines the minimum wage front and what a win looks like these days. The episode concludes with the legislative scorecard.
