How we count
Your “Nice job” receipt is your real activity on Restowork, multiplied by national benchmarks. Each benchmark is the plain average of several published sources, linked below. These are estimates — your own costs depend on your restaurant.
Cost to hire an hourly restaurant worker
Days to fill an hourly job
Minutes per phone screen
The formulas
Time saved = applicants you decided × (10 min − 30 s). The 30 seconds per applicant is our own conservative estimate. % less time = 1 − 30/600.
Value of your time = hours saved × $30.32/hour — the median wage for food service managers (BLS, May 2023).
Cost per hire = what the job you hired from cost on Restowork (what you paid to meet the people you hired, plus anything else spent on that job) ÷ the hires from it — compared with $573.
Speed = days from their application to your hire, next to the 14-day average.
People who want to work there = the count of applications to your jobs in the period.
