Zing connects Toronto restaurants — we call them Spots — with vetted, rated hospitality workers — we call them Teammates. Shared talent pools. Mutual choice. Data-backed matching. No staffing agency markup.
Stop scrambling for last-minute staff. Access a shared pool of 20+ vetted professionals instead of juggling fragmented schedules with no visibility into quality.
Post shifts and get matched with pre-assessed, rated workers who fit your operation
Every Teammate is assessed across 6 dimensions — skill, grooming, communication, motivation, adaptability, and warmth
Two-way reviews build transparent, data-backed profiles you can trust
Cluster with similar restaurants to share talent pools and reduce everyone's staffing gaps
If a Teammate proves indispensable, there's a clear path to bring them on full-time
Your skills have value — and now they're visible. Build a portable professional profile, earn Zings ratings across every shift, and access opportunities across Toronto's best restaurants.
Build a ZingCard — your portable hospitality profile that follows you across every Spot
Earn Zings ratings (pink loops) that unlock better shifts, higher pay, and more choice over time
See transparent Spot profiles before accepting — reviews, team culture, and expectations visible to you
Work across multiple restaurants instead of being stuck at one — your talent, your schedule
Top-rated Teammates gain pricing power and selectivity — the better you perform, the more you earn
Fill your first shift in minutes. Work your first shift tonight.
Zing isn't a staffing agency. It's a two-sided platform where restaurants and hospitality workers find each other, build trust through data, and grow together.
01
Create Your Profile
Spots complete a quick restaurant profile. Teammates complete the Toronto Hospitality Staff Standard assessment to build their ZingCard.
02
Get Assessed & Matched
Our 6-dimension assessment evaluates real hospitality capability. Matching considers skill level, cultural fit, availability, and proximity.
03
Accept or Decline
Every match is mutual. Teammates see the Spot's profile before accepting. Spots see the Teammate's ZingCard and ratings. Both sides choose.
04
Work, Review, Grow
After every shift, both sides review each other. Ratings compound. Top Teammates earn Elite status and Community Stars recognition.
The Zing Flywheel

Assessment is the foundation. When evaluation captures real signal, matching improves, trust builds, and both sides win.

What They Say
Built with the industry, not for it
"We've been with Zing since the early days. The workers they match us with actually understand fine dining service. Two of our best full-time hires came through Zing."

"I work at three different Spots through Zing. Each one knows my ratings, my skills, my availability. I don't have to prove myself from scratch every time."
