FEATURES
Built for the reality of running a busy Austin venue.
Every feature was designed around a real problem Austin operators told us they had — not a product manager's whiteboard.
MOBILE-FIRST
Apply from any phone
No app download. No account creation. Candidates scan a QR code or tap a link and they're applying in seconds — perfect for Austin's on-the-go workforce.
VOICE SCREENING
Hear candidates before you call
A 60-second voice or video answer replaces the cover letter. You'll know who has the warmth and communication skills your front-of-house demands.
SMART RANKING
Ranked by fit, not just recency
We score applicants on availability overlap, experience match, and responsiveness — so your top candidates surface first, not buried under 40 unread messages.
SPEED
Post a job in 90 seconds
Streamlined for busy operators. If you have time to read a ticket, you have time to post an opening.
TRUST & SAFETY
Verified Austin-area applicants
All candidates confirm their work eligibility and availability upfront. No surprises on day one.
