01 · The problem

Applications don't tell you who will be good at the job.

1

Applications all list the same things.

Availability, past jobs, 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.

02 · How it works

Three steps. No manual.

01

Set your standards

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

02

Applicants apply from their phone

One application, about fifteen minutes. It measures judgment, work style, availability, and how well they know the job.

03

Message your best matches

Every applicant is scored and ranked automatically the moment they finish. Open the list and message your top picks.

03 · Why it's different

Know who they are before you ever meet them.

Measure what interviews can't.

Apron scores judgment under pressure, reliability, and work style before you commit to a single interview.

Set your own standards.

Choose what matters most for each position: weekend coverage, speed, people skills. Every applicant is measured against what your store needs.

Ranked automatically, around the clock.

Applicants are scored and sorted the moment they hit submit. Your shortlist is ready when you are.

Hard to fool. Legal everywhere.

Scripted answers, borrowed answers, racing through it: Apron notices, and it clears the strictest hiring-tech laws in all 50 states.

04 · The story

Built by a restaurant owner, not a software company.

You've trained the new hire who never came back. You've covered the shift that "open availability" didn't. Apron was built by someone who has too.

06 · FAQ

Straight answers.

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 message your favorites.
Will applicants actually finish it?
Yes. The application was built for phones, takes about fifteen minutes, and was timed with real applicant data. Short enough to finish, long enough to matter.
Is it legal to screen applicants this way?
Yes, and not by accident. Apron clears the strictest hiring-tech laws in all 50 states: job-related factors only, and every score can be explained if anyone ever asks. The protection is built in so you never think about it.
What if my role isn't in the library?
Start with the closest of the twenty-five built-in positions and adjust it to fit your store. The library covers everything from front counter to management, across every kind of food service.
What does setup actually take?
A guided setup: your store, your hours, your positions, your look. There is no manual because it shouldn't need one.
