Challenge

Cooper’s Hawk Winery & Restaurants believes great food and wine create lasting connections. But as the brand expanded with multiple New Restaurant Openings (NROs), the rising costs and time to hire across locations became a major challenge. Fast, efficient staffing was critical to launching on time and maintaining a consistent guest experience.
