National Restaurant Association CEO Details How Restaurants Benefit from New Tax Bill in Latest Family Enterprise USA Podcast

Michelle Korsmo, National Restaurant Association Leader, Talks with Family Enterprise USA’s President Pat Soldano 

The National Restaurant Association’s President and Chief Executive Officer, Michelle Korsmo, details how the country’s 800,000 restaurants are dealing with challenging economic times in a new “Voice of Family Business on Capitol Hill” podcasts from Family Enterprise USA.

In the 30-minute podcast, Family Enterprise USA’s President, and podcast host, Pat Soldano, talks with Korsmo about the benefits of the recently passed tax bill and what it means for family-owned restaurant owners and the millions of employees on their payroll.

“Restaurants are the cornerstones of local communities and at schools,” Korsmo says in the episode. “A restaurant is often a young person’s first place of employment, and the new tax bill helps not only the owners, but the chefs and servers who rely on tips,” she says.

Founded in 1919, the National Restaurant Association is based in Washington, D.C., and is the leading business association for the restaurant industry, with a total of more than 1 million restaurant and foodservice outlets and with a workforce of 15.7 million employees. The association is dedicated to serving every restaurant through advocacy, education, and food safety.

The new “One Big Beautiful Bill Act,” passed and signed earlier this summer, provides some two-million restaurant servers “no tax on tips” provision and “no tax on overtime” pay, Korsmo details in the episode.

“We’re thrilled that attention is being given to all the tip-based servers in our industry,” Korsmo says. “Recognizing their value to our industry is really important.”

Soldano and Korsmo address other benefits of the new tax bill for family-owned restaurant owners, including the benefit of immediate research, development, and equipment expensing, improved Estate Tax relief, and transitioning a family restaurant to the next generation.

“There are a lot of challenges and increased costs in the restaurant industry,” Korsmo says. “But restaurant people are the most optimistic group I’ve ever known.”

The podcast is available now on Spotify and other podcast platforms, as well as on Podcasts page.
