You can't afford a bad hire.
You can't afford to find out the slow way, either.
A 5-minute behavioral assessment built for QSR, fast-casual, and independent restaurants. Send a link. Get a scored report. Skip the interviews that were going to be a waste anyway.
7-day trial on annual plans. No card needed.
One bad hire wrecks a shift, the team, and a week of your time.
The average 20-minute interview tells you almost nothing about whether they'll show up.
Most operators don't have HR. They have an inbox, a gut feeling, and not enough time.
Three steps. Twenty minutes start to finish.

What we score.
Hiring frontline staff isn't about the perfect résumé. It's about whether they'll show up, follow the playbook, and treat your customers right.
Reliability
If they say they'll be there, they're there — five minutes early.
Coachability
Feedback sharpens them. It doesn't put them on defense.
Ownership
"What was my part?" before "Whose fault was that?"
Rule-fit
Comfortable with structure — even rules they don't love.
Composure
Stays calm when the line is out the door or a guest is upset.
Customer instincts
Apologizes, fixes it, stays in the conversation.
Real questions. Real signal. Not personality astrology.
A few of the questions a candidate sees. Each maps to a behavior that decides whether they'll earn their shift.
“When work is slow, what do you usually do?”
“How do you usually respond when a manager corrects you?”
“What does being on time mean to you?”
“A customer is upset, and honestly it isn't really your fault. What do you do?”
Assessments can be tailored by role and operator preference — for example, opt in to a stricter phone-on-the-floor question if that's a non-negotiable in your shop.
Built for your world.
Built for the QSR pace.
Frontline turnover is brutal. Manager hours are scarce. Brand consistency matters. QDX standardizes how you screen across stores so a strong candidate at one location looks like a strong candidate at all of them. Cut weak applicants from the funnel before they cost a shift leader 30 minutes.

When you're running the floor and the office, one bad hire is one ruined Friday night. QDX gives you a quick, opinionated read on a candidate before you sit down with them — so you spend interview time on the people who could actually make it work.
Learn more →I built QDX in my own shop. Here's why.
I'm Yan. I own a 16 Handles franchise. Like most restaurant owners, I've spent more time and money on the wrong hires than I'd like to admit.
An hour interviewing someone who was never going to show up. A week training someone who was never going to follow a rule. A weekend covering a shift because someone “wasn't feeling it” by their second Friday.
The math doesn't work. Not for me, not for any operator I know.
So I built QDX — a 5-minute behavioral screen that tells me, before I waste my time, whether a candidate is worth interviewing. Today it's a product. It started as a tool I needed in my own store.
Operator pricing. No fluff.
Two plans. Pay annual to save 30%. Add-on test types when you're ready to layer in cashier math or other skills.
