The rite of passage of the in-person CV drop at restaurants and bars has changed since COVID. It’s anecdotal, sure, but ask around: younger generation of hospitality workers aren't interested in walking into a neighbourhood and handing their resume to whoever happened to be near the door, hoping it made it to the right person. Restaurants have since adapted, throwing listings on Indeed or going so far as to post stories and in-feed posts, either way hoping for the best.
It hasn’t really been working, though. "You'll put a job posting on Indeed for a server position and get flooded with applications, a lot of whom don't even live in the country," says Dillon Griffin, co-owner of NDG Luncheonette and the pub Honey Martin. "It's just not a tool that really understands the personable nature of what we do."

Great idea for an app. Much-needed in the industry. I used to hate handing out CVs... this is very smart.
