Why it matters
Hiring in the restaurant industry comes with constant pressure. Turnover is high, open roles need to be filled quickly, and managers often have to make decisions on tight timelines. At the same time, every hire carries risk. The wrong person can impact team safety, customer trust, and your restaurant's reputation. For multi-location groups, inconsistent screening processes and changing state or local regulations can make hiring even harder to manage.
3rd Degree helps address these challenges with:
Our services
The best restaurant screening programs are not one-size-fits-all. 3rd Degree gives you the flexibility to apply the right level of screening based on role, risk, and responsibility without overcomplicating your process.
Search national, county, federal, state, and sex offender records, with 3DSnow providing fast access to records from over 2,500 courthouses.
Use Social Security Trace and Consent-Based Social Security Verification to confirm identity, validate SSN details, and uncover names, aliases, addresses, and jurisdictions tied to a candidate.
Confirm past employment details like dates, job titles, roles, and reasons for leaving, which is especially helpful for managers, supervisors, and leadership hires.
Reduce manual compliance work with electronic disclosures, authorizations, local notices, automated pre-adverse and adverse action notices, and rules-based adjudication.
Support safer hiring with testing options like urine, hair follicle, oral fluid, instant and rapid testing, and lab-based confirmatory testing.
Review license status, class, restrictions, violations, DUI/DWI offenses, and accident history for delivery drivers, catering teams, or employees operating company vehicles.
