Challenge

Opening a new location should be exciting—not overwhelming. But for Dave’s Hot Chicken (DHC), the viral fried chicken brand started by three friends in LA, every New Restaurant Opening (NRO) meant long hours, chaotic spreadsheets, and a mad scramble to staff up in time.

Solution

LANDED turned DHC’s NROs from a fire drill into a smooth operation. By automating key parts of the hiring funnel—like vetting and interview scheduling—DHC was able to move fast and still keep quality high. Instead of wrangling applications and chasing down no-shows, operators focused on launching strong teams from day one.

“LANDED has been extremely helpful. Before, I used to do it all for our New Restaurant Openings. It was just too overwhelming for me. Now with LANDED, it’s just ‘here’s my email, here’s my availability, send me everybody!’"
Denise Calette
Director of Training
