Krystal, an Atlanta-based square-burger chain, Krystal, said it is now hiring at all its locations just six months after the chain filed for bankruptcy and one month after its acquisition by affiliates of Fortress Investment Group LLC and its operating partner, Golden Child Holdings. 

The brand said in a news release that it has continued operations throughout the pandemic via its drive-thrus, pick-up service and delivery platforms. Now, Krystal is hiring for a variety of positions from crew members and shift leaders to general managers.  

"Krystal is primed for growth and is actively hiring to increase its workforce by 25%," said Dawn Agueros, Vice President of People Experience at Krystal, in the release.

Potential employee benefits include free or discounted meals, paid vacation, 401(K), scholarships as well as medical, dental and vision insurance, the company said. 

The company has about 300 restaurants in 10 states in the southeastern U.S.
