Apron scores and ranks every applicant for the job you're filling, so you know who to interview first.

Get early access See how it works

Set up in minutes. We're onboarding in small groups right now. Your first 14 days are free.

Scores are advisory. Apron always lets you decide.

01 · Where Apron fits

Post job openings like you already do. Apron does the heavy lifting.

Keep posting on Indeed or ZipRecruiter and keep the “Now hiring” sign in your window. Just have them apply through Apron, and we score and rank every one so the strongest rise to the top of your list.

Applicants find out that you’re hiring.

Indeed, ZipRecruiter, your franchisor's site, the sign on your door. Keep using whatever already works.

They apply through your Apron portal.

Your posts and QR codes link to your application. It shows your name, your logo, and your colors, works on any phone, and takes about fifteen minutes.

You’re fully informed for the interview.

Every applicant lands in one ranked list, scored for the job you're filling. You decide who gets the interview.

02 · The problem

A resume can't tell you who will be good at the job.

1

Resumes only tell you where someone has worked.

Work history, availability, references. None of it tells you how someone will handle a Friday rush.

2

A good interview doesn't mean a good hire.

Anyone can be charming for twenty minutes. It tells you almost nothing about the next six months.

3

Bad hires are expensive.

Crews turn over in months, not years. Every wrong pick costs you training hours, extra overtime, and slower service.

03 · How it works

Apron is almost too easy to use.

01

Set your standards

Pick your positions, set what matters most for your store, and launch your application portal. It takes minutes.

02

Applicants can apply from their phone

The application takes about 15 minutes. It measures judgment, work style, and availability, and gives you a picture of their fit for the role.

03

Reach out to your best applicants

Apron scores every applicant the moment they finish. You get a ranked list with their contact details, so you can call or email the ones worth your time.

04 · Why it's different

Know how each applicant fits the job before you ever meet them.

Walk into interviews better informed.

Apron measures judgment under pressure, reliability, and work style. An interview can't uncover those, and you need them for the full picture.

Set your own standards.

Choose what matters most for each position. Maybe that's weekend availability. Maybe it's speed at the counter. Apron measures every applicant against what your store needs.

05 · Make it yours

The application portal, branded like it’s yours.
Because it is.

Your logo, your colors, your words. The application portal wears your brand on every screen, and changing the look takes minutes, not a designer.

Your logo on every screen.

Upload it once and your logo leads the whole portal, top to bottom. Applicants apply to your store, by name.

Any colors you want.

Pick a ready-made pair or dial in your exact brand colors. The header, the buttons, and every accent update instantly.

Four header designs.

Solid, gradient, vertical, or two-tone. Change it in one tap and preview it live, even before you save.

Write your own welcome.

Greet applicants in your voice, name your positions your way, and set what each job needs. No template talk.

08 · FAQ

Frequently asked questions.

What do I actually have to do?
Almost nothing. Put your application link where applicants already are, a QR code on the door or a link in your job posts. Apron does the rest. You open a ranked list and reach out to the ones worth your time.
Does Apron replace Indeed or ZipRecruiter?
No. Job boards tell people you're hiring, and you should keep using whichever ones work for you. Apron is the application your posts and QR codes link to. Applicants tap, apply in about fifteen minutes, and land in your ranked list. Nobody has to go looking for Apron.
Will applicants actually finish it?
Yes. We built the application for phones and timed it with real applicant data. It takes about fifteen minutes. Long enough to measure what matters, short enough that applicants finish it.
Is it legal to screen applicants this way?
Apron measures job-related factors only, the same way for every applicant, and every score can be explained, answer by answer, if anyone ever asks. Scores are advisory: Apron never advances or declines anyone, and AI is never used to evaluate an applicant. You decide who gets an interview and who gets hired.
What if my role isn't in the library?
Start with the closest of our 25+ built-in positions, rename it for your store, and adjust it to fit. The library covers everything from front counter to management, across every kind of food service.
What does setup actually take?
Apron asks you a few questions, looks up your business, and shows you what it found so you can confirm or correct it. Most operators finish in a few minutes. AI helps with that setup conversation only. It never sees an applicant, an application, or a score.

Your restaurant's hiring problem just met its match.

Good applicants get lost in the mix every day.
Apron fixes that. Your first 14 days are free.
