HireWow automates first-round interviews for QSR chains. Screen 10x more candidates, fill shifts faster, and reduce the turnover that kills your labor cost.
Fast food has the highest turnover of any industry. Here's what's costing you.
Your GMs are running shifts AND doing phone screens. That's 5-10 hours a week on calls with no-shows and unqualified applicants. Time they don't have.
150% turnover means you're rehiring your entire crew every 8 months. Without a faster process, you're stuck in a costly, exhausting loop.
Every manager screens differently. Some are too lenient, some too tough. Multi-unit operators end up with wildly inconsistent hires across locations.

"Turnover dropped 30% in the first quarter. Turns out when you screen properly, you hire people who actually stay."
HireWow screens for reliability, availability, and culture-fit signals that correlate with retention — not just whether someone can flip a burger. Our AI asks behavioral questions proven to predict 90-day retention, so you stop hiring people who leave in week two.
