Restaurant Workers Fair Wages Petition

Restaurant workers deserve fair wages, dignified working conditions, and a voice in their workplace. This petition template provides a professional, secure way for hospitality workers to collectively advocate for better compensation while maintaining anonymity if needed.

Built for restaurant staff, bartenders, servers, and kitchen workers who want to organize for change, this form streamlines the petition process from signature collection through to labor board submission. Workers can sign anonymously or publicly, specify their employer details, describe wage concerns, and provide evidence of unfair practices—all in one streamlined workflow.

The form includes conditional logic to collect different information based on whether signatories choose to remain anonymous, ensuring privacy protection while still gathering the details needed to support a legitimate petition. You can collect information about current wages, hours worked, tip pooling practices, and specific grievances that support your case.

Paperform's secure submission handling and SOC 2 Type II compliance means worker information is protected throughout the process. Use conditional confirmation emails to send different messages to anonymous versus public signatories, and leverage Stepper workflows to automatically notify labor boards, organize follow-up actions, compile signature counts, and keep petition organizers updated as signatures roll in.

This template works for individual restaurant campaigns, multi-location organizing efforts, industry-wide wage advocacy, and solidarity movements across the hospitality sector. Customize the petition language to address minimum wage increases, tip credit elimination, overtime violations, or any workplace justice issue your team is facing.

With Paperform, restaurant workers get a professional organizing tool that puts power back in their hands—no expensive consultants or complicated software required.
