CRTRA Surveys


  • The Chain Restaurant Total Rewards Association (CRTRA) is pleased to partner with Aon to conduct our annual compensation survey. Chain restaurants comprise one of the largest employer segments in the country and CRTRA averages around 100 member companies, representing over 300 of the most popular restaurant concepts, employing nearly 1.5 million workers. One thing each member company has in common is that the cost of labor is the single largest operating expense. The Chain Restaurant Total Rewards Association survey data serves as the foundation for members to be able to provide the analytics and insights that help their businesses operate most effectively.
