Faster food and beverage hiring with Fountain

From dining in to delivery, Fountain helps food and beverage pros cater to what consumers want

The food and beverage industry is one of the largest industries in the world, but finding qualified candidates is increasingly difficult. Hourly workers tend to change jobs often, and it can be a cutthroat race to get top talent before the competition.

Food and beverage leaders need to evolve with industry demands and continue to fight for the attention of an hourly workforce. Lowering barriers to entry on applications, improving time-to-hire, and streamlining the applicant experience are essential. Fulfilling both in-house and delivery staffing needs requires a robust and streamlined Labor ATS that can keep up with a mobile-savvy clientele.

If you’re hiring in food and beverage, you’re facing:

• A record-high quit rate of nearly 6% per month, which remained the same between 2021 and 2022.

• Nearly twice the number of job openings post-pandemic, compared to pre-pandemic, but nearly 20% reduction in hiring.

• A growing percentage of applicant unresponsiveness between 2021 and 2022, which means you’re working harder to get applicants to their interviews and hired.

With Fountain:

• Hire your food and beverage team members in as little as four days, while the industry average is around three weeks.

• Food and beverage applicants are able to complete screening questions and schedule interviews in four minutes.

• Applicants can set up bank information, complete and clear background checks, and submit federal and state onboarding documentation in as little as nine hours, helping them prepare for their first day of work.
