In Business Heroes, HR decisions have direct financial consequences:

Wages are your biggest ongoing cost — but underpaying leads to low morale and staff quitting
Training improves food quality and service speed, but costs money and time
Employee happiness affects performance — unhappy staff produce lower quality food and may not show up for work
Hiring the right people at the right time is essential as you scale from one truck to many
