If I’m not getting my desired number of hours in at my regular job, I know that I can always look on shiftNOW for some extra shifts so that I can earn the money I need for the week.

The opportunity to work in a fine dining restaurant is one I never thought I’d have. shiftNOW is helping me get my foot in the door at some big-name places which motivates me to show up and do great work.

I downloaded shiftNOW shortly after moving to Charleston. Working open shifts through shiftNOW has allowed me to familiarize myself with the food and bev scene here before diving right into a new job.

You will be notified via text once your application has been accepted for a shift and the mobile app will display your application status on the shift as "Accepted".

Are there any instructions provided ahead of the shift?

Businesses are able to communicate any shift specificities through their shift posting. Check out the "Description" and "Shifter Instructions" sections when browsing shifts to understand what the shift entails and be aware of any specific instructions.

Can I get paid faster?
