Frequently Asked Questions
While previous experience in a restaurant or bar is highly desirable and often required for our busier venues, we do occasionally have roles suitable for enthusiastic beginners with strong customer service skills from other sectors (e.g., retail). We provide support and can advise on roles that offer training. For completely entry-level positions in other fields, check our No Experience Jobs page.
Shift patterns vary by client but typically include evenings, weekends, and bank holidays – the busiest times in hospitality. We have part-time, full-time, and ad-hoc shifts available. Some roles may offer daytime hours in cafes or hotel breakfast service. You can discuss your availability with your consultant, and we will match you with suitable shifts. This flexibility is a hallmark of our Immediate Start Jobs service across the UK.
We operate a simple weekly pay system. You submit your timesheet (electronically or via our app) at the end of your working week. Once approved by the client, we process your payment, which includes your hourly rate and accrued holiday pay. Funds are then transferred directly to your bank account. This reliable system is consistent for all our temporary workers, whether they are in hospitality, working as a Plasterer, or in a warehouse.
Absolutely. Many of our clients use temporary assignments as an extended interview process. If you perform well, demonstrate a great attitude, and fit seamlessly with the team, it is very common for clients to offer a permanent contract. We actively encourage and facilitate this transition. It's a proven pathway we've seen succeed not just in hospitality but across sectors like logistics and construction.
First impressions are crucial. We recommend smart-casual attire – clean, pressed trousers or a smart skirt, a collared shirt or a neat blouse, and clean, professional footwear. Avoid jeans, trainers, and overly casual wear. It shows you take the opportunity seriously and understand the professional standards of the industry. For more general interview tips applicable to all roles, our resource on Recruitment Best Practices can be helpful.
