Case Study: Sweet Lou’s simplifies hiring and increases qualified candidates with Restaurant365 HIRE

Sweet Lou’s Simplifies Hiring and Increases Qualified Job Candidates

Sweet Lou’s, a two-location family restaurant in northern Idaho, faced the typical industry problem of high turnover and time-consuming hiring: posting on Craigslist and Indeed was costly, and managers spent about 45 minutes multiple times a week on orientation and paperwork. To modernize recruiting and onboarding they adopted Restaurant365 HIRE from Restaurant365 to move hiring to a cloud-based, restaurant-specific system.

Restaurant365 HIRE delivered a branded career page, centralized applicant tracking, automated assessments and alerts, text/email communication, and automatic new-hire routing to payroll. As a result, Sweet Lou’s reported hiring an applicant in as little as 10 minutes, saving at least 45 minutes per hire, cutting no-shows (from about five of ten to one of ten candidates), and saving roughly $400 a month on job-posting fees—while improving candidate quality and streamlining onboarding through Restaurant365.
