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.

After every shift, both sides review each other. Ratings compound. Spots create an extended team they can rely on anytime, and Teammates have now access to multiple spots — so much flexibility.

Create
Your
Profile

Spots complete a quick restaurant profile — cuisine type, team size, service style, expectations. Teammates complete the Toronto Hospitality Staff Standard assessment to build their ZingCard.

Get
Assessed
& Matched

Our 6-dimension assessment evaluates real hospitality capability. Matching considers skill level, cultural fit, availability, and proximity — the full picture, every time.

Accept or
Decline

Every match is mutual. Teammates see the Spot's profile and reviews before accepting. Spots see the Teammate's ZingCard and ratings. Both sides choose.

Assessment is the foundation. When evaluation captures real signal, matching improves, trust builds, and both sides win — creating a self-reinforcing cycle.

Teammates Perform

Skilled workers deliver great shifts. Two-way reviews capture real performance signal across 6 dimensions. Ratings compound with every shift worked.

Spots Trust

Transparent, data-backed profiles drive confident decisions. Similar restaurants cluster to share vetted talent pools, ensuring reliable attendance and consistent staffing.

Everyone Grows

Top Teammates earn pricing power and selectivity. Top Spots attract elite talent. Zing Astra Guild excellence through Zings ratings and StarrZing.

THE ZINGS RATING SYSTEM

Your performance,
made visible

Zings are the universal measure of hospitality excellence on the platform. Teammates earn pink loops. Spots earn teal loops. Five tiers from New to Elite — every shift counts.

NEW Just joined. Completing onboarding assessment.

ACTIVE Building a track record. Shift history growing.

PROVEN Consistent performance across multiple Spots.

TOP High-rated. Gaining pricing power and selectivity.

ELITE Best of the best. Community Stars eligible. Premium rates.

STRARRZING PROGRAM

Spots that maintain Good Standing (3+ Zings loops) earn Community Stars — a visible mark of excellence. Starred Spots access the Community Pool: a percentage of matched shift revenue distributed annually to Star holders. It pays to be excellent.

ONE STAR (3 LOOPS)

TWO STARS (4 LOOPS)

THREE STARS (4+ LOOPS)

"We've been with Zing since the early days. The workers they match us with are now part of the team, except we have more than we could hire. Some of whom we've hired full time. We need less part timers than before"

Restaurant Manager Ricardo's, Toronto

"I work at three different Spots through Zing. And I have chosen these spots. Each one knows my ratings, my skills, my availability. My reputation follows me — every spot already knows what I bring. And I set my own schedule."
