Friday night rush,
half the crew.
HeyHire finds pizza makers, delivery drivers, and counter staff who live in your area and can work when it matters. You just pick who gets a trial shift.
Pizzeria staffing is a constant battle
Your pizza maker called out. Your driver quit for DoorDash. The line is out the door and you are short two people. Sound familiar?
Three out of four restaurant employees leave within a year. For pizzerias running nights, weekends, and delivery, turnover hits even harder.
Recruiting, training on your menu and oven, and the slower nights while a new hire gets up to speed. Losing a reliable driver costs even more in missed deliveries.
Nearly a month to fill one position. That is weeks of longer ticket times, exhausted staff, and customers who start ordering from someone else.
When 89% of operators report rising labor costs, you cannot afford to spend a month filling one role.
From short-staffed to
full crew by Friday.
Three steps. Two days or less. Your rush nights are covered.

We lost two drivers the same week. With the Super Bowl two weeks out, I was panicking. Posted on HeyHire Tuesday morning, had four candidates text me back by lunch, and two of them started that Saturday. We made it through the biggest delivery weekend of the year without missing a single order. I will never go back to Craigslist.
Common questions from pizzeria owners
HeyHire reaches candidates via SMS instead of email. That gets you an 85% response rate within 15 minutes. Our AI screens every applicant by experience, availability (including Friday and Saturday nights), and how close they live. Most pizzerias fill positions in 2 days or less.
All of them. Pizza makers, line cooks, delivery drivers, front counter staff, cashiers, prep cooks, dishwashers, and shift managers. We have templates for every role so posting takes under a minute.
This is one of our most common use cases. HeyHire targets candidates with valid driver's licenses who live within delivery range of your shop. Proximity matching means shorter routes, better tips, and drivers who actually stick around. No more competing with gig apps for drivers who live 30 minutes away.
Absolutely. Shift availability is a core screening filter. Set Friday and Saturday night as requirements and HeyHire only surfaces candidates who confirm they can work those shifts. No more hiring someone who is "flexible" and then can't work the only nights that matter.
Yes. Set food handler certification or ServSafe as a requirement and candidates without it are automatically filtered out. You only see applicants who are ready to work your kitchen from day one.
Yes. HeyHire's multi-location dashboard lets you post jobs across all shops at once, track applicants per location, and share top candidates between sites. Each location gets its own branded hiring page and QR code poster. One login, full visibility.
