The Problem with Instawork

  • Connecting workers

    Instawork connects workers across warehouses, delivery, retail, and more

  • Competing for workers

    For hospitality operators, that means competing with other industries for workers

  • Untrained staff

    Many staff lack hospitality-specific training

  • Fees and costs

    Fees and costs can eat into margins

The New Industry Standard

shiftNOW is not just for filling in when you have an emergency or need extra people. For me, it’s the platform I use when I’m looking to hire people.

shiftNOW is the one-stop for all things staffing…it has changed the game.
Quote
shiftNOW has completely changed how we staff. With such a seasonal business, we appreciate the ability to scale up and down as needed. Managing shifts from my phone is easy and simple. shiftNOW has become the perfect solution for large-scale event support.
Quote
It’s great to see a variety of applicants and be able to quickly tell whether or not they have worked with us before, see their reviews from other employers, and understand how reliable they are.
Quote
It has been a giant help. With 20 to 30 percent of our seasonal staff being gig economy workers and temporary workers, it has been a lifesaver.

The people who were sent to Ghost Kitchen were excellent workers. Much better than I am used to seeing.

I can’t believe the response time after posting our shift! Really glad we did this.

Our first shiftNOW shift went really great! Our Shifter worked very hard and did a great job.

Thank you for all of the hard work and teamwork shiftNOW brought to the table. I personally had great experiences with the Shifters I worked with, so thank you for that!
