So, you’ve got openings at your restaurant or quick-serve franchise and need to hire more restaurant workers. That means you need quality employment background checks, done fast.

The foodservice industry poses some unique hiring challenges. Your hosts, servers, and cooks need to be both friendly and fast. Sometimes they may be the only person a diner interacts with, making them the face of your restaurant.

It is the restaurant’s responsibility to protect its employees and customers from known bad actors. A thorough criminal background check and optionally, a rapid drug test will not only give you peace of mind but also prove you did your due diligence should you find yourself defending a negligent hiring and retention lawsuit.

Accurate Public Records will do everything in our power to provide you with a quality employment background check; quickly and accurately, so you can confidently hire your next restaurant worker, before your competition.

A critical first step and lead source when performing employment background checks on restaurant workers. Our SSN Alias and Address History Trace searches consumer databases for any names and addresses that have been previously associated with an applicant’s social security number, revealing other names and jurisdictions for us to look for criminal records in that would have been overlooked with a local search alone.

This is a huge advantage for the restaurants and quick-serve franchises we serve. Often times when people get in trouble with the law, they move to avoid repercussions or try to “start over”. We occasionally hear from prospective clients, small business owners in particular, trying to handle employment screening on their own by checking with local authorities.

This could be a costly mistake and give them a false sense of security that they’ve done their due diligence when really they’re almost as vulnerable as if they hadn’t screened their new hire at all. You don’t want half-measures when it comes to protecting your staff or your customers.

Another important step in the employment screening process. When coupled with our SSN Alias and Address History Trace our National Criminal Database Search queries thousands of State, County, and Corrections criminal record databases with the applicant’s date of birth, name, and known aliases, to locate potential matches to records in jurisdictions outside of your applicant’s home county where they may have committed a crime. All possible felony and misdemeanor convictions and pending cases are reviewed by a trained background screening professional prior to verifying against primary source court records to ensure accuracy.

Accurate Public Records then takes the records that have passed our review process and verifies them at their primary source county court in order to ensure we deliver the most accurate and up-to-date information. This step is the best protection against false positives and is required by law when performing a background check for employment.

Advanced drug screening with results reported in as little as 15 minutes. Accurate Public Records has partnered with collection sites all across the country so there’s always one near your place of business or your new hire’s home. These collection sites are equipped with technology that enables you to electronically screen for 10 commonly abused prescription and illicit drugs. This rapid drug testing technology provides negative results in as little as 15 minutes allowing you to hire talented restaurant workers today.
