Case Study: El Jannah fills new restaurant locations faster with Employment Hero

How Employment Hero is helping El Jannah fill 500 new restaurant locations at smoking-hot speed

El Jannah, the fast-growing fresh casual dining brand from NSW and VIC, Australia, was opening restaurants at a rapid pace and needed a way to hire consistently without overloading restaurant managers. Using Employment Hero’s EH Software – Platinum and HR Partner support, the team had to move from manual, high-volume recruiting to a more repeatable and manager-friendly process.

Employment Hero implemented SmartMatch job matching, AI-assisted screening, and structured ATS workflows with templates and stage-based communication. This helped El Jannah rank candidates faster, improve the candidate experience, and standardize hiring across sites, with reported impact including an estimated $500k in annual savings and $90,000 saved in recruiter fees.
