One platform.
Every location staffed.
HeyHire lets franchise operators and QSR groups post across every location at once, reach local candidates via SMS, and fill positions in days. Not weeks.
QSR hiring is a revolving door
Half your new hires quit within 90 days. Your managers spend more time recruiting than running the store. And every empty position costs you thousands.
You are not just replacing your team once a year. You are replacing it more than once. The average fast-food location churns through its entire crew every 9 months.
Recruiting, interviewing, 40+ hours of training, and the lost productivity while a new hire gets up to speed. Over half of that cost is the revenue you lose during the vacancy.
Over a third of candidates disappear before the interview because the process took too long. They applied to 15 other places the same day and took the first offer that responded.
At 130% turnover, speed is not a nice-to-have. It is the entire strategy.
From open headcount to
fully staffed. Every store.
Three steps. Two days or less per location. Your managers go back to running the store.

Create New Position
Reach Candidates Near Each Store
A crew member who lives 30 minutes away will not survive the 5am drive-through shift. HeyHire targets candidates within a short commute of each individual store. Local hires show up more, stay longer, and cost less to replace.
- Hyper-local targeting per store location
- SMS reaches candidates between shifts, not buried in email
- QR posters at the counter, drive-through, and break room turn foot traffic into applicants
AI Screening at Franchise Scale
When you are hiring across 5, 15, or 50 locations, you cannot manually review every application. HeyHire's AI scores every candidate by availability, certifications, experience, and distance from the store. Managers only see candidates who are actually qualified.
- Filters by food safety certs, age requirements, and schedule fit
- Scores candidates per-location by proximity
- Share top candidates between stores when one location is fully staffed

We operate 12 locations and were spending 30+ hours a week on hiring across all of them. Our GMs were burned out, turnover was through the roof, and every new store opening was a staffing crisis. With HeyHire, we post across all 12 stores in one shot, candidates text us back within minutes, and we went from a 28-day average time-to-hire to under 5 days. Our managers are managing again instead of recruiting.
Common questions from franchise operators
One dashboard, every location. Post roles across all your stores at once, track applicants per unit, share top candidates between locations, and compare hiring performance across your entire portfolio. Store managers see their location. Area directors see their market. Franchisors see everything.
Yes. Every store gets a custom branded hiring page with its own address, photos, open roles, and QR code poster. Candidates apply to the specific location near them, not a generic corporate careers page. This boosts local applicant quality significantly.
This is exactly what HeyHire is built for. Bulk post all roles across all locations in minutes. Our SMS outreach reaches local candidates near each store simultaneously. Most franchise operators fill positions in 2 days or less per location. No per-posting fees, no candidate caps.
Two ways. First, proximity matching ensures you hire people who live close. Shorter commute equals longer tenure. Second, AI screening filters for schedule fit and realistic availability before you ever see a candidate. You stop hiring people who quit because the hours did not match what they expected.
Speed. Candidates apply, get screened by AI, and receive an SMS from you within minutes. Not days, minutes. They self-schedule an interview from the same text thread. The entire process from application to interview can happen in under an hour. When candidates are applying to 15 jobs a week, the first company to respond wins.
Yes. Set food handler permits, ServSafe, minimum age, or any other compliance requirement as a screening filter. Candidates who do not meet your criteria are automatically filtered out. You only review applicants who are eligible to work at your brand from day one.
Most franchise ATS platforms were built for corporate recruiting, not hourly volume hiring. HeyHire is purpose-built for speed and local reach. SMS outreach gets an 85% response rate (versus email at 20%). AI screening eliminates manual resume review. And candidates self-schedule interviews instead of waiting for a callback that takes three days.
Yes. HeyHire integrates with ADP, Gusto, Paychex, When I Work, Deputy, 7shifts, and 50+ other platforms. New hires sync automatically so managers skip manual data entry and get people on the schedule faster. For enterprise franchise systems, we also support custom API integrations.
