What experience do kitchen hands have?
Profiles show previous kitchen shifts, venue types, and ratings from each one. Many hold food safety training; you can require it on the shift.
Can I book recurring shifts across a week?
Yes: post a repeating pattern in one go, and offer it Pool-first so your regulars pick it up before the wider pool sees it.
How much does a casual kitchen hand cost?
Hospitality Award casual rates start around $33.05/hr (1 July 2026) plus applicable penalties, plus on-costs and the flat 15% MyGig fee, all shown upfront.
