Case Study: Colony Grill achieves streamlined, paperless hiring and improved onboarding with Restaurant365 (Compeat Hire)

Colony Grill brings their Dream Team Onboard with Compeat Hire

Colony Grill, a four-location Connecticut pizzeria famous for its thin‑crust pizza, faced a time‑consuming, paper‑based hiring process that required applicants to apply in person and managers to scan and email new‑hire paperwork. To modernize recruiting and onboarding and integrate with their back‑office systems, Colony Grill engaged Restaurant365 to implement an online applicant‑tracking and digital onboarding solution.

Restaurant365 replaced paper workflows with online job postings, mobile applications, digital screening, and electronic new‑hire forms (W‑4, I‑9, direct deposit, handbooks), and integrated hire data with payroll and workforce tools for scheduling and time & attendance. The Restaurant365 implementation drastically reduced paperwork, cut errors, improved efficiency, made onboarding a much more positive experience for new employees, and simplified opening new locations by allowing hires and schedules to be turned on digitally.
