Industry operates a LinkedIn‑style platform for restaurants, hotels and other hospitality employers where applicants can create profiles showing skills, photos of meals and videos of on‑the‑job work. The product also supports industry networking to help employees meet contacts and find new opportunities. The company shifted from a subscription model to a “pay per qualified applicant” pricing system, charging employers per qualified applicant based on the role’s importance. Industry is live in nine West Coast cities and reports 30% month‑over‑month growth on both the employee and employer sides of its marketplace; in San Diego it now covers about 20% of the roughly 6,000‑restaurant market. Notable clients and users include Disney, MGM and the casting agency for Hell’s Kitchen and Top Chef. The company plans to use new funding to expand nationwide and to grow product and team capabilities.
