Job boards, hospitality software, and agencies all hire differently. This is the short version of what changes for a restaurant: how long a role sits open, how often someone no-shows, and what you are actually billed for.

Where the other options fall short
PoachedJobs
Hospitality-focused, and still a job board. Fills often take 5–10 days, and about 1 in 5 hires ghost. There is no built-in shift scheduling.
Harri
Shift scheduling is there, along with enterprise pricing around $200–$500 a month and a contract. Fills run 7–14 days, and ghosting sits near 25%. It is built for chains.
Indeed
You get a pile of applications. Most of them are not serious about restaurant work, and about 30% of people who say yes never show for the first shift. You also pay per click.
LinkedIn is priced and built for corporate hiring, often $500–$1,000 a month. Hourly restaurant candidates are not who is on the other side of that spend.
Staffing agencies
Agencies can move in 3–7 days. The trade is 20–30% of annual salary and a contract that does not flex when the season does.
HeyHire
HeyHire is for restaurants, bars, and cafes. Roles are usually filled in about 24 hours, the ghosting rate is about 2%, and shift scheduling is included. You pay a flat monthly rate for unlimited hires, with no contract.
