Stop Guessing on Salaries: Data-Driven Pay Bands for HK F&B

Hong Kong hospitality operators guessing on salaries create internal equity collapse when new hires earn 7% more than existing staff in identical roles. Data-driven pay bands remove bias from hiring decisions, signal fairness that reduces job-hunting mentality, and enable total compensation restructuring that outperforms pure wage competition. Chain hotels, restaurant groups, and independent venues each require fundamentally different strategies that acknowledge structural realities rather than attempting to match competitors' approaches designed for different business models.
