Hire pizza makers and drivers.
In 2 days.
HeyHire fills pizza maker, driver, and counter staff roles with local, pre-screened candidates who actually show up. You just pick who to interview.
Pizzeria hiring is broken.
Friday night orders are stacking up. You're short a driver and your best pizza maker just put in notice. Sound familiar?
Nearly four out of five pizzeria employees leave within a year. Drivers especially — they'll jump ship for an extra dollar an hour.
Between recruiting, training, and the weeks of slower delivery times and declined orders, every departure costs real money.
Two to three weeks to fill one position. That's weeks of cold pizzas arriving late and customers switching to the competition.
We built HeyHire because Friday dinner rush + short a driver = lost revenue. Pizzerias can't hire like a corporate office.

Guard the 3-4:30 p.m. window when the lunch crew is out but the proof is not in the red zone yet, so tryouts do not touch your Friday football rush.
Learn moreCoal vs. Deck Story Pages
Different microcopy for fast-casual slice shops versus full-service pie rooms so a fine-dine server is not reading a 90-second delivery-only job.
Third-Party Map Sync
Weight drivers by the zones your DoorDash, Uber, and in-house map actually pay—so you are not training someone who bails on your far north loop.
Cut-Table Text Queue
One thread for the kitchen lead and the road dispatch lead so a driver no-show does not get lost between two call stations.

Permissions that keep franchise comp plans private while a single-store owner still sees every resume without corporate noise.
We lost two drivers in one week right before football season. I was about to start delivering pizzas myself. Posted both roles on HeyHire on a Monday and had four qualified drivers texting me by Tuesday. Hired two, they started Wednesday. Saved my weekends.
Frequently asked questions
Yes, and in pizza that is the difference between a 17-minute ticket and a liability call. You can set license class, years held, and personal auto insurance as hard gates on the driver role, so the AI pass never surfaces people who are still deciding whether to buy a car. Candidates upload a photo of the card and expirations to the same SMS thread, which means your road manager can verify in seconds without a separate portal password. You can also flag commercial insurance if you run hots bags or larger vehicles, and map each applicant to a delivery heat map so you only spend human time on people who already live in the band you pay for. The moment they pass, route them to a tryout block that is literally on the road you care about, not a generic “come to HQ” day that never happens. In practice, the best pizzerias we work with run two tracks—one for in-store dough talent and one for couriers—so a skilled pie guy is not getting lost in a pool of people who just want to toggle an app, and the shop finally stops eating refunds when a new hire cannot legally take the car out of the lot, which is the real Friday-night nightmare this question is designed to stop.
All hourly pizzeria roles: pizza makers, dough stretchers, oven operators, delivery drivers, counter staff, prep cooks, dishwashers, and shift leads. If the role keeps your shop running, HeyHire can fill it.
Delivery drivers are the #1 hardest role to fill in the pizza industry, and it's exactly where HeyHire excels. We filter candidates by driver's license, vehicle ownership, insurance, and proximity to your delivery zone. Drivers who live in your area already know the streets and deliver faster.
Yes. HeyHire's multi-location dashboard lets you manage hiring across all your shops from one login. Each location gets its own branded hiring page, QR code posters, and local talent pool. You can also share top candidates between locations.
Indeed and Craigslist rely on email, which pizza staff rarely check. HeyHire uses SMS — 98% open rate vs. email's 20%. We also pre-screen every applicant by experience and availability, so you never waste time reviewing unqualified applications.
For salaried leadership roles like General Managers and Area Directors, we recommend our sister company MenuTalent. They specialize in executive hospitality search. Visit menutalent.com to learn more.
