Case Study: Maggiano’s Little Italy achieves faster time-to-interview and increased applicant capture with AllyO

How Maggiano’s Little Italy Increased Applicant Capture and Reduced Time-to-Interview

Maggiano’s Little Italy, a 51-location restaurant chain founded in 1991, faced high-volume, year-round hiring needs for roles like bussers, hosts, line cooks, servers, and banquet staff while job seekers became more selective. To engage a wider audience, increase applicant capture, automate pre-screening and scheduling, and reduce time-to-interview, Maggiano’s partnered with AllyO and deployed AllyO’s conversational recruiting platform across mobile and web.

AllyO was custom-built and deployed within weeks to capture, qualify, and schedule candidates through quick conversational interactions with virtually zero involvement from the Maggiano’s team. The AllyO solution processed 21,000+ candidates, scheduled 17,000+ interviews, and helped hire 5,100+ applicants, closing 66% of open requisitions in two weeks while freeing corporate recruiters and restaurant managers to focus on higher-value work.
