The platform aims to address the difficulty the hospitality industry faces when looking for short term workers and helps with contingency staffing needs.
Laurent Gibb, co-founder and CEO of Staff Heroes, said: “Staff Heroes is to the staffing sector, what Uber is to the taxi industry. We remove the need for businesses to spend time and resources on unnecessary admin and agency fees, by providing a secure, automated platform to source quality workers with ease.
“Businesses in the hospitality industry experience fluctuations in their staffing needs that can leave them exposed at the worst possible times. Our solution is to supply short-term contingent staffing to plug any gaps in their operations.
“We are empowering businesses to take control of their hiring needs via a flexible and user-friendly platform. This also benefits our heroes who will be able to identify local opportunities to engage in short-term work and earn money.”
The platform partners employers with over 1,000 professionals across London ranging from silver service waiters to sous chefs and bar staff to housekeeping.
The employees can be booked for paid per hour shifts and receive payment soon after. The pay scale is based on the job type and level of experience. The business is only charged once a shift has been completed. Staff Heroes then manages the payroll process, paying the worker directly and removing the administration burden from the employer.
