Why restaurant teams screen with Flowmingo

  1. Every crew applicant interviewed, the day they apply

    Put one link in your job ads or on a poster in store, and applicants interview on their phone, in the evening or between shifts, in 60+ languages.

  2. Scored the same way at every location

    Every location asks the same questions, and each answer is scored on your criteria, with a written reason and the recording.

  3. See how they serve before their first shift

    Role-Play lets the AI play a customer whose order is wrong, and scores how the candidate handles the conversation.

  4. One project for every role you hire

    Add CV Evaluation, a skills test or a role-play to the AI interview, in the same project, for any role, from crew to shift manager.
