Challenge

As a legacy brand with hundreds of locations, Red Robin knows that great hospitality starts with great people. But their Managing Partners were spending more time chasing candidates than running their restaurants, buried in manual sourcing, screening, and scheduling. 

The brand knew that in order to uphold their legacy and keep up with growth, modernizing their hiring process wasn't optional — it was essential.

Solution

Red Robin partnered with LANDED to bring Generative AI to frontline hiring. LANDED's SMS-based AI automated the entire candidate journey — sourcing, vetting, engaging, and scheduling — empowering MPs to fully own their staffing needs without the manual burden. 

Whether scaling for high-volume seasons or prioritizing quality during slower periods, LANDED adapted to the moment. The result: a modern hiring engine with real-time reporting across every role, location, and market, built to scale with the brand.

“LANDED helps reduce administrative noise for our Managing Partners. It ensures we’re scheduling the most qualified applicants, saving our MPs time.”
