Seasoned operates a two-sided mobile app that serves as a free community for restaurant employees to find openings, schedule interviews and connect with peers, and a subscription hiring tool for managers to lower onboarding costs and speed hires. The company reports its tools are being used by more than 250,000 restaurant workers and says its social community can help workers find jobs in 24 hours while managers can shorten time-to-hire to within three hours. Seasoned launched successfully in Dallas in 2020, attracting over 300 brands operating 100,000 locations in its first year, and describes itself as remote-first. The platform’s differentiator is its dual focus on both workers and restaurants via mobile solutions for each side of the marketplace. Seasoned plans to deploy new capital to expand into additional markets (it has added Houston, Austin, Orlando and Miami) and expects to go national within the next year. The company also intends to hire across product, technology, go-to-market and data science roles as it scales. Seasoned operates a foodservice-centric professional networking platform designed to connect workers with jobs, talent and career development. The platform targets a wide range of roles, from cooks and dishwashers to servers, hosts, gig workers and long-tenure employees. Seasoned is a spin-off of HotSchedules and is led by former Lynda.com executives Andrew Wait (Executive Chairman) and Madhav Mehra (President). The company is based in San Francisco and also has offices in Austin. Seasoned secured funding to continue product development and expand its community and job-matching capabilities. The company announced a $20M Series A to support those plans.
