The right people for the room
A wedding, a conference and a busy service each need a different kind of hand. We record the settings a worker knows and the certificates they hold, so the team that turns up suits the event — without overstating anything we have not confirmed.

Hospitality & Events FAQ and advice
Frequently asked questions
Can I work occasional shifts around another job?
Yes. Hospitality and events work is often flexible. We record your availability so we only offer shifts that suit you. We cannot guarantee a specific shift or event.
Do I need a food hygiene certificate?
It depends on the role. For kitchen and catering roles it is an advantage. We note the certificates you hold during registration.
Do you verify alcohol-service experience?
We record the alcohol-service experience a worker tells us about. We do not imply any licensing or certification unless it is genuinely held and supported by the proper documents.
Is there evening and weekend work?
Much hospitality and events work falls on evenings and weekends, and we match to your stated availability.
