01 · 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.

02 · How it works

Apron is so simple, it needs no manual.

01

Set your standards

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

02

Applicants 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

Message your best applicants

Every applicant is scored automatically the moment they finish their application. Message them directly through Apron.

03 · Why it's different

Know how each applicant fits the job 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.

Applications scored around the clock.

Results are scored the moment an applicant hits submit. Your shortlist is ready to review whenever you are.

Cheating detection, built in.

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

04 · The story

Built by restaurant owners, not a software company.

We've all trained the new hire who never showed up for their next shift. We've all covered the shift when nobody came in. Apron was built to solve that problem.

06 · 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 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. Long enough to measure what matters, short enough that applicants finish it.
Is it legal to screen applicants this way?
Yes. 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, 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?
A guided setup walks you through your store, hours, positions, and look. Most owners finish it in one sitting.
