Finding and applying for hospitality jobs
Do I need to create an account to apply for jobs?
No. You can browse all jobs and apply without signing up. Creating a worker profile is optional, it lets employers find you too.
How do I apply for a job?
Open the job listing and tap "Apply now". Fill in your name and phone number, add an optional message, and submit. The employer receives your details directly and will be in touch.

Yes, tap the bookmark icon on any job card to save it. Your saved jobs are stored on your device and accessible from the Saved Jobs page in the navigation.
