If we told you that you could earn a six-figure salary working at an area restaurant, you'd probably guess we were talking about one of the fancy, white table-cloth spots, right? Well, what if we told you it was Taco Bell? Yum! Brands, which owns the Mexican fast-food chain, announced Thursday that, later this year, it will be testing $100,000 annual salaries for general managers of company-owned Taco Bells in select locations. The announcement was part of a series of initiatives the company rolled out Thursday that is says are meant to enhance restaurant performance, employee satisfaction, recruitment and retention. In Nassau County, there are Taco Bells located at: 98 Forest Ave. in Glen Cove1650 Jericho Tnpk. in New Hyde Park490 Peninsula Blvd. in Hempstead56 Glen Cove Rd. in Greenvale630 Old Country Rd. in Garden City511 Old Country Rd. in Westbury1939 Hempstead Tnpk. in East Meadow996 Hempstead Tnpk. in Franklin Square1625 Hempstead Tnpk. in Elmont630 Old Country Rd. in Garden CityThe company did not announce which locations will test out the $100,000 manager's salary. Other programs that Yum! announced Thursday included "Makers," a program for employees who may not want to be managers but want to get leadership experience and "elevate their passion for the brand." The company also announced that all nationwide company employees can become eligible to receive at least 24 hours of paid sick time per calendar year, starting in 2020. Also, Yum! has a plan to make all of Taco Bell's packaging material used by customers recyclable, compostable or reusable by 2025. Recycling or composting bins will be added to all restaurants where it's possible and PFAS, Phthalates and BPA — potentially hazardous substances used in plastics — will be removed from all customer-facing packaging materials.
