Need an extra
pair of hands?
Post a cover shift in minutes.
Someone calls in sick. Service gets busy. You need another pair of hands.
Post the shift and the relevant Cover Crew are alerted as soon as it goes live. They can apply, and you choose who works.
How it works
Somebody good, on the night.
Post the shift, the right crew gets notified, you choose who fits, and they turn up.

The crew grows as we vet people, so this list changes. Posting a shift charges you nothing on its own: you pay when you choose somebody and book them.
What it costs
One rate, before you book.
You choose the worker’s hourly pay. We’ll show you the full hourly cost, including holiday pay, employer National Insurance and our fee, before you book. No extra charges added afterwards.

An example, not a price list: the total follows the wage you set and the hours you book, and is charged per shift. Cover shifts are part of the wider ALLDAY network, connecting venues with hospitality people approved for specific roles. Membership is £149 a month, separately from the shifts you book.
