Hiring for quick-service restaurants

The answer to restaurant hiring is finally here.

Apron scores and ranks every applicant for the job you're filling, so you know who to interview first.

Set up in minutes. We're onboarding in small groups right now. Your first 14 days are free.

Scores are advisory. Apron always lets you decide.

The problem

You can’t interview everyone, and you shouldn’t have to.

1

Too many applicants, not enough time.

One crew posting brings in dozens. You have a store to run.

2

An interview doesn’t tell you enough.

Anyone can be charming for twenty minutes.

3

The wrong hire costs you.

Training hours, overtime, and slower service.

How Apron fixes it

You post the job. They apply. Apron ranks them.

Post where applicants already find you.

Indeed, ZipRecruiter, the sign in your window.

They complete your application.

Step by step, from their phone, so you get the full picture.

The best candidates rise to the top.

Scored the moment they finish. Call the right applicants first, before someone else hires them.

What gets scored

Find out who’s worth interviewing.

What a resume can’t tell you.

Some of your best people may look bad on paper. Apron looks past that.

Fixed rules, not AI.

At your store, the same answers always earn the same score, and you can see why.

Built for where hiring law is headed.

More states ask employers to explain automated decisions and keep a person in charge. Apron does both by design.

Example: an applicant answers a real restaurant situation on their phone. The operator sees each applicant's score with the reasons behind it, such as whether they cover the store's busiest nights. Scores are advisory.

Make it yours

Your store gets its own hiring portal.

It looks like your store and works around your schedule.

Your store.

To an applicant, it looks like your own hiring site. Because it is.

Your colors.

Pick a ready-made pair or use your own colors.

Your shifts.

Applicants are ranked on how well they cover your busiest hours.

By the numbers

Built specifically for restaurant operators.

You've trained the new hire who never showed up for their next shift. You've covered the weekends when key people didn't show. We built Apron to solve that problem.

FAQ

Questions.

Does this replace Indeed?
No. Keep posting there. Your posts link to your Apron application, and every applicant lands in your ranked list.
I’m a franchisee. Will this cause problems with my brand?
Apron is built for franchisees. Your page leads with your own company, never uses your brand’s logo unless your franchisor provides it, and states that you are the employer.
What if my position isn’t listed?
Start with the closest built-in position and rename it for your store.
Is it legal to screen applicants this way?
Apron scores job-related answers only, the same way for everyone, and every score can be explained. Scores are advisory: Apron never rejects anyone, and no AI evaluates applicants. You decide who gets hired.
How long does setup take?
A few minutes. Apron asks about your store and builds your application portal. AI helps with setup only and never sees an applicant.

Your restaurant’s hiring problem just met its match.

Good applicants get lost in the mix every day.
Apron fixes that. Your first 14 days are free.
