It's Thursday. You just lost
your Saturday server.

You've been here before. The scramble. The phone calls. The "sorry, can't make it." Zing gives you access to vetted hospitality professionals who actually want to work at your restaurant — and you get to see exactly who they are before they walk through the door.

Sound familiar?

The staffing problems that keep you up at night

Last-minute no-shows

It's 4pm and someone just texted they can't make it. You're already short. Now you're calling everyone you know and hoping.

You don't know who's showing up

The agency sends someone. You've never met them. They don't know your menu, your flow, or your standards. You cross your fingers.

Markups you can't afford

Staffing agencies take 25-35% on top. You're already running tight margins. But what choice do you have?

How Zing works for you

Three steps. No phone trees.

01

Post your shift

Tell us the role, the date, the time, and what you need. Takes about 2 minutes. Your request goes live immediately in the Zing network.

02

Review real profiles

We match you with Teammates based on skill, experience, location, and how well they fit your type of restaurant. You see their full profile — ratings from other managers, shift history, assessment scores — before you confirm.

03

They show up prepared

Your Teammate has seen your restaurant profile. They know what to expect. After the shift, you both leave a review. Every review makes the next match sharper.

What's different

Why managers stay with Zing

Real assessment, not just a resume

Every Teammate on Zing is assessed across six dimensions that matter in hospitality: skill, grooming, communication, motivation, adaptability, and warmth. You're not guessing — you're choosing based on real data.

Two-way reviews that mean something

After every shift, you rate the Teammate and they rate your restaurant. Good restaurants attract better talent. It's honest and it works — because both sides have skin in the game.

Shared talent with similar restaurants

Zing clusters restaurants with similar vibes and standards. When another restaurant in your cluster rates a Teammate highly, you benefit too. It's like a shared bench of trusted people.

A clear path to full-time

Found someone great? You've already seen them work your floor. You've already got their performance data. Bringing them on full-time is a conversation, not a gamble.

Great restaurants attract great people

Your restaurant earns teal Zings loops from worker reviews — how organized the shift was, how the team treated them, whether they'd come back. The higher your rating, the better the talent that wants to work your floor. Think of it as your reputation as an employer, made visible.

What restaurant managers say

"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 Ricarda's, Toronto

"The two-way rating system changed how I think about temporary staff. These workers know their reputation is on the line, so they show up sharp. And when I find someone great, I can see their full history and make the case to bring them on permanently."

Transparent. Always.

No hidden fees. No agency markups. You see exactly what you're paying, and the Teammate sees exactly what they're earning. That's how trust works.
