Hospitality Staffing Has Unique Challenges
From last-minute call-outs to weekend rushes, hospitality staffing is fast-paced.
Last-Minute Call-Outs
Server calls in sick 2 hours before dinner service. Need immediate replacement or service suffers.
Manual phone calls waste precious time
Weekend & Peak Periods
Friday/Saturday nights, holidays, special events. Need 3x normal staff. Hard to coordinate manually.
Understaffed on busiest nights
High Turnover
Hospitality has high staff turnover. Need constant pipeline of qualified candidates ready to start.
Always recruiting, never fully staffed
Location Critical
Servers won't commute 45+ minutes for a 4-hour evening shift. Need local candidates fast.
Mass alerts get "too far" responses
Fast Onboarding Needed
Can't wait weeks for background checks. Need food handler certs, basic onboarding, then start ASAP.
Slow onboarding = lost shifts
Multi-Location Coordination
Restaurant chains with 10+ locations need centralized staffing. No visibility across venues.
Can't share staff between locations

Hospitality Staffing FAQs
Is this for restaurants, hotels, or both?
Both! Restaurants (independent or chains), hotels, catering companies, event venues. Any hospitality business managing chefs, servers, or bartenders. Works for agencies placing staff OR internal staffing for restaurant groups.
How fast can we onboard new staff?
Much faster than healthcare. Track basic requirements (food handler cert, background check, right to work). Once approved, staff can start immediately. Typical onboarding: 1-3 days vs weeks for other industries.
Can we manage both full-time and casual/shift workers?
Yes! Track permanent staff assigned to specific venues AND casual/shift workers who pick up extra shifts. Different workflows for each but managed in one platform.
How does same-day urgent fill work?
Server calls in sick 2 hours before dinner service. Click 'Boost' on the shift. Instant email/SMS to local staff who've opted in for urgent notifications. Average response time: under 1 hour.
Can staff work at multiple restaurant locations?
Yes! Perfect for restaurant chains. Staff set location preferences (e.g., willing to work at venues within 15km). They see shifts at all nearby locations and pick up extra shifts wherever needed.
What about tips and gratuity?
Post rates with "+tips" notation (e.g., "$18/hour + tips"). Hirepad focuses on shift coordination and staffing. Actual tip distribution handled through your POS/payroll system as usual.
Can we post weekend or event-only shifts?
Absolutely. Create jobs for specific dates/events (e.g., "NYE event staff", "Valentine's weekend servers"). Perfect for peak periods that need extra staff beyond your core team.
Is the platform white-labeled?
Yes! Full white-labeling with your restaurant/hotel brand, colors, logo, and custom domain (e.g., jobs.yourrestaurantgroup.com). Staff see YOUR brand, not Hirepad.
