Hiring & retention software for your restaurant

Handle the high volume and high turnover of the restaurant industry with software that helps you find and grow the right team.

We Know Your Business

Find Team Members Who Stick Around

Restaurants are always hiring. It’s so hard to find team members for the front and back of the house who will actually stick around. Up to 50% of new hires wind up leaving within their first 90 days, which results in staffing shortages and leaves remaining employees picking up the slack. This can ultimately result in reduced operating hours, which impacts the customer experience and overall sales.

We analyzed benchmark data from the industry to better understand how you should hire and retain a team for your QSR, Fast Casual, or Full Service Restaurant.

Here’s how to find the right people to grow with your team:
