The Hiring Challenge: Supporting Local Stores from the Franchise Level

Pizza Factory is a well-established national franchise with a loyal following, strong brand identity, and over 100 locations across small towns and suburban communities. Despite their scale and success, hiring consistently across the system remained a challenge—especially for new store openings and locations in harder-to-staff markets.

“We didn’t just need more applicants—we needed better ones. And we needed a way to make hiring easier for every franchisee.”

Before StaffedUp, they struggled with:

  • A limited pool of qualified candidates in rural markets
  • Time-consuming application review and scheduling
  • Lack of a modern, easy-to-use system for franchisees

  • Difficulty attracting high-quality candidates, not just nearby ones


Why Other Hiring Tools Fell Flat

Pizza Factory tried other programs—but the return didn’t justify the cost.

  • Posting was tedious and took too long
  • Applicant volume didn’t match local hiring needs
  • Cost per hire didn’t align with store-level hiring goals

  • Franchisees were left on their own without a consistent solution

“We knew we needed a more effective system, but nothing felt designed for the realities of franchise hiring.”

How StaffedUp Became the Franchise-Wide Solution

StaffedUp delivered the consistency, customization, and quality that Pizza Factory needed
system-wide. Every location now benefits from:

  • Customized job descriptions built for each location
  • Targeted job distribution across multiple boards—not just one
  • Easy-to-use interview scheduling and visibility tools

  • A growing applicant database, helping new stores launch faster

“Stores are staffed faster, with better candidates, and way less time spent digging through applications.”

Tangible Results That Franchisees Feel

Since switching to StaffedUp, Pizza Factory has seen:

  • Time-to-hire improve by 2–3x system-wide
  • 90% less time spent on hiring tasks for franchisees and GMs
  • Higher quality candidates and fewer no-shows

  • Operational efficiency increase with more stores fully staffed


Franchises now open with strong teams and run smoother—because the hiring system just works.

  • What is the WOTC (Work Opportunity Tax Credit)?

    WOTC (Work Opportunity Tax Credit) is a federal tax credit available to business employers, both large and small. The credits are designed to offset Federal income tax liabilities. When the WOTC program is executed the right way, employers can capture enough tax credits to significantly reduce, or even eliminate, their Federal income tax liabilities. (And if your business was formed using a flow-through-entity, like a S-corp or LLC, then the credits could flow-through to the owner’s K-1).

  • How can WOTC impact my business?

    Executing the WOTC program is simple and easy with the right provider. We’ll screen your applicants to determine if they satisfy one of nine qualifying criteria. If so, our team of tax credit experts work with specific government agencies, behind the scenes, to capture the tax credits for you. Once captured, tax credits can be used to eliminate Federal income tax liabilities and thus improve cash flow for stakeholders and the business.
