Hire vetted waitstaff in Sydney in minutes.
Sydney hospitality runs from CBD fine dining to club kitchens in Parramatta and beachside venues from Manly to Cronulla. MyGig’s hospitality pool is deepest here: RSA-checked bartenders, baristas and kitchen hands across the metro area, with weekend and function work concentrated around the CBD, Darling Harbour and the inner west.
Service standards fall over when the floor is short: vetted waitstaff arrive able to hold a section, not just carry plates. Typical requirements: rsa where the venue serves alcohol.
Post the shift in about 60 seconds and watch vetted waitstaff apply. MyGig is the Employer of Record: employment contracts, award-interpreted payroll with the clause cited, 12% superannuation, and workers compensation all sit with us. You get one invoice and one flat 15% service fee on wages and on-costs, with the full cost estimated before you book.
