AI Infrastructure
Phenom's Ontologies share one skills and availability model across every location, so a candidate who's a fit for one restaurant surfaces for the next one hiring nearby instead of falling out of the funnel.
Phenom for Quick Service Restaurants
Thousands of crew hires a year just to stay staffed, managers hiring on top of running the restaurant, and every brand pulling from the same hourly pool. Phenom takes the manual work out of crew hiring from the application to starting the first shift.
Crew hiring never closes. The team doing it already has a restaurant to run.
Turnover in quick service is cyclical; most chains replace their entire crew inside a year, then rehire those positions and more to keep growing. In the interim, work lands on general managers between rushes. Applicant flow is thin because every brand is fishing from the same hourly pool, and candidates who do apply wait days for a call while the existing crew covers the gap.
Hire crew at the speed you serve.
Phenom moves the parts of hiring that stall. A candidate who applies at 10pm is screened the same night, and books their own interview before a competitor calls back. Managers hire from a phone instead of a back-office inbox. Assessments weigh judgment, not just availability, so the person hired for Friday actually fits the job, while managers still make every hire.
AI built for how quick service restaurants hire
A crew application at 10pm. A general manager with four minutes between rushes. A new hire whose first week decides whether they’ll stay. Phenom applies AI, agents and automation to each of those moments, screening around the clock, hiring from the floor, and measuring judgment before the offer, with a person deciding who gets hired.
Fast-track, high-volume hiring
Hourly candidates apply after shifts and after school, then take the first job that answers. A short conversational application with no resume and no login confirms availability and eligibility on the spot. Qualified candidates book their own interview inside the same flow, and reminders go out by text. Nobody sits uncontacted in a queue, and nobody is lost because the callback came too late.
Screen every applicant the day they apply
Hiring Manager portal and app
General managers must hire on top of already running a restaurant. Phenom Hiring Manager puts the queue on their phones so they can review candidates with the reason why they were selected, rate interviews, message a candidate, and move someone forward with one tap. Above-store leaders see what happened to every application at every location.
Run hiring from the floor, not the back office
Situational judgment assessments
A short situational judgment assessment runs inside Phenom. It tests real job scenarios from a frazzled customer to an order gone wrong. Managers see the match, and the reasoning behind it, before the interview. After they accept the offer, onboarding collects documents in one place and readies them for day one.
Measure judgment before the offer, not after
Built to hire fast without losing track of who signed off
Matching across every location, connecting to the systems already running payroll and background checks, and keeping every decision scoped to the right restaurant all run on the same platform.
