Hiring in catering is no longer what it used to be (and thank goodness)

If you work in recruitment within the catering sector, this will surely sound familiar to you:
You have 12 active vacancies, 4 locations asking for staff “for yesterday”, a flood of resumes (many with no experience), and all that come to your inbox are emails with the subject “urgent - no waiters on the night shift”.

I know what you're thinking. Sometimes it feels like you're more in survival mode than in strategic selection mode.
And it's normal. Hiring in restaurants is a constant challenge: high turnover, unpredictable peaks in demand, managers without time to interview and candidates who, if you don't give them quick feedback, go to the next restaurant... or to another sector.

But the good news is that This no longer has to be the case.
And artificial intelligence can help you more than you can imagine.

What costs the most (and how AI solves it)

1. Publish quickly. And everywhere.

When a vacancy opens, there is no room for wasting time.
You can launch AI-powered offers on multiple portals at once. And also, adjusted to the type of profile that usually works the most by area, season or even by type of place.
AI doesn't just multiply your visibility, It saves you valuable time from minute one.

2. Filter without losing talent.

Having a lot of candidates is not synonymous with having the right ones. And review them one by one, less so.
AI can automatically pre-evaluate candidates based on key criteria: experience, availability, languages, soft skills... It can even launch automated interviews to detect the best before you have to intervene.

Result? Fewer filler candidates, more profiles that fit.

3. Prevent the good ones from escaping you.

In restoration, speed matters more than ever.
With automated processes and proactive feedback, you prevent the best candidates from disappearing while waiting for a response.
The candidate experience improves, you don't lose talent, and the restaurant doesn't get lame right before the peak season.

It's not just about hiring faster. It's about hiring better.

And that, in this sector, makes the difference.
A waiter with a good attitude can change a customer's experience. A decisive cook can save you a difficult night.
We cannot allow the chaos of the selection process to make us lose those profiles that make the difference.

What happens when you let AI lend you a hand?

We have proven this with clients who manage dozens of stores, from coastal areas to large urban chains.
With AI in their selection processes, they have achieved:

• Fill vacancies in less time (up to 3 times faster).
• Maintain service quality, even in intense campaigns.
• Give managers autonomy without leaving them alone in the face of recruitment.
• Improve your brand image as an employer.

This is not going to replace people. It's about empowering the selection teams.

If you're tired of chasing vacancies or feeling like it's your job to put out fires...
Perhaps the time has come for technology to work with you, not against you.

The restoration doesn't stop.
Pero Nor should your national team always go against the clock.

With AI, you don't just arrive on time. You arrive better prepared.
