"As a brand, Fazoli's is rapidly growing, and we are looking for a unique way to differentiate ourselves from other brands in this competitive hiring environment," said Dave Craig, Fazoli's vice president of human resources. "The success of last year's National Signing Day showed that potential team members recognize Fazoli's as both a great place to eat and to work."
