“I watched restaurant operators get crushed by a hiring system that was never built for them. Gen Z doesn't use job boards. Resumes don't show you who someone is. And no platform let you watch someone actually work before you commit. So I built one.”

📍 Southern California · 🏗️ Built with restaurant operators
Indeed gives you resumes from people who may or may not show up. SizzleHire gives you 30-second video applications, SMS-speed communication, and paid trial shifts where you watch someone actually work before you hire them. Most operators keep both for 60 days, then cancel Indeed.
No. They apply via a text link, record a video on their phone’s browser camera, and communicate entirely through SMS. Zero friction. That’s why they actually complete the application.
You schedule a 3-hour shift through SizzleHire. The candidate shows up, works alongside your crew, and you see how they actually perform — not how they interview. We hold the pay in escrow and pay the candidate instantly after the shift. You hire the ones who earned it.
Join anyway. SizzleHire builds your bench — candidates near you with video profiles ready to go. When someone walks out on a Friday, you have people to text, not a process to start.
$149/month locked in permanently. No contract, cancel anytime. When we launch publicly, the price goes up. Founding members keep their rate forever.
