Seasoned.co

What Seasoned.co does

Seasoned.co operates a two-sided mobile recruitment and community platform purpose-built for the US restaurant and hospitality industry. The product surface consists of the Seasoned Community App for service-industry workers (job search, industry networking, professional content) and the Seasoned Recruit App and Recruit Website for restaurant employers (applicant management, interview scheduling, hiring workflow). Distribution runs through the Apple App Store and Google Play Store on the worker side and through direct enterprise sales and self-serve web sign-up on the employer side, with supporting brand partnerships and QR-code-based venue marketing.

The underlying technology is a mobile-first marketplace with social SSO (Facebook, Twitter), Google Maps API integration for location-based job discovery, and a subscription-based employer toolset. There is no disclosed AI or ML component; matching relies on employer-driven applicant review. The company competes on domain specialization (restaurant/hospitality only) and community exclusivity rather than on algorithmic matching.

The business model is primarily subscription-based employer revenue, billed monthly in advance with auto-renewal under the Seasoned, 2.0 Inc. legal entity (operated as a subsidiary or affiliated brand of JobGet Inc.). Additional revenue streams include usage-based billing for certain services and non-refundable prepaid fees for premium features. Customer concentration sits among QSR and casual-dining chains, with named logos spanning McDonald's, Taco Bell, Chipotle, Pizza Hut, Wingstop, P.F. Chang's, Papa Johns, and others. The company has raised approximately $30.95M across funding rounds in 2021, led by Horizons Ventures, and operates across 35+ US states.
