The restaurant hiring problem

Hourly turnover never stops. Neither should your hiring.

Restaurants live with turnover north of 70% and a hiring window measured in hours. By the time a manager reads a stack of applications between shifts, the best line cooks and servers have already taken another offer. WIGOH replies the instant someone applies, qualifies them on availability and experience, and gets them booked for an interview before the competition down the street even calls back.

Built for every format

One assistant for every kind of restaurant

Keep every shift covered, every store staffed

QSR and fast-casual hiring is a volume game. Joy turns every job ad into a text conversation, screens for availability and reliability, and routes ready-to-work crew straight to the store that needs them.

  • Text-to-apply from in-store signage and job boards
  • Screen for availability, transport, and start date in seconds
  • Book on-the-spot or same-day interviews automatically
  • Re-engage past applicants when a new opening hits a store

Does WIGOH handle high-volume crew hiring?+

Absolutely. WIGOH is built for high-volume hourly roles, handling thousands of applicant conversations at once across every location without adding recruiters or managers.

Can it screen for certifications like food handler or alcohol service?+

Yes. Joy asks your required qualifying questions — food-handler cards, alcohol-service permits, availability, and start date — and only advances candidates who meet them.

How does it work across many locations?+

Joy routes each applicant to the nearest hiring store, keeps screening consistent across the brand, and rolls up time-to-fill and vacancy days by store and region for owners and above-store leaders.

WIGOH integrates with major ATS, HCM, and workforce-management platforms so candidate and new-hire data flows into the systems your stores already run.

Fill the schedule before your competitors call back.
