Worker overviewAt every volume, cheaper than Supp
The platform fee is the only difference. Wages stay the same. As you grow, the gap widens.

| 5 | $50 | $120 | $70 |
| 10 | $100 | $240 | $140 |

Assumes a $200 average shift wage. Supp's ~12% scales with shift size; ours doesn't. Plus Supp charges your worker a monthly membership (~$15–$30) which we don't — workers earn more on iHospo for the same job.
How it works
- 1
Post a shift
Role, time, your rate (must be at or above award). Free to post. We list it to verified workers nearby in seconds.
- 2
A worker matches
Workers browse and apply. We auto-match the best fit by reliability, distance, skills. We charge the platform fee when they're locked in.
- 3
They turn up, do the shift
Check in, work the hours, check out. Both sides rate each other. We hold the wage securely until you approve the timesheet.
- 4
Worker is paid same day
On approval, we release the wage to the worker via NPP PayID the same day the café approves the timesheet. They keep 100%. We keep our fee.
FAQ
- Is there a subscription or monthly fee?
- No — everyone's on flat $10-per-filled-shift pricing, and you only pay when a shift is actually filled. No subscription, no lock-in; workers always pay $0.
- Why is it cheaper than Supp?
- A flat $10 per filled shift vs Supp's ~12% bundled markup — cheaper from shift one, and the gap widens as wages rise because our fee doesn't. Supp also charges your workers a monthly membership; we never charge workers a cent. Workers earn more, cafés pay less.
- Are workers your employees?
- No. Workers are independent contractors. They set their own availability, take or decline shifts, and are responsible for their own super and tax. We provide the matching platform, KYC verification, same-day wage transfers, and dispute support — not employment.
- Do workers need an ABN?
- No — we accept the ATO Statement by Supplier (NAT 3346) for casual / hobby income, which covers most under-threshold workers, students, working-holiday makers and under-18s. Workers with regular gig income should get an ABN (free, 5 minutes via the ATO), and we link to it from onboarding.
- Why does the platform enforce the award rate as the minimum?
- Because we can. We're a marketplace, not the legal employer, so the award doesn't legally apply — but enabling underpayment is exactly why workers and regulators distrust gig platforms. Holding the floor at award costs us nothing, gives workers certainty, and makes us defensible to the Fair Work Commission's gig-worker review board. You can pay above; you can't pay below.
- How does payment actually flow?
- When a worker is locked in, we charge your card on file (or NPP debit) for: the wage + our platform fee + the NPP transfer cost (~10¢). The wage portion is held securely until you approve the worker's timesheet, then paid to the worker via NPP PayID the same day. We keep the fee.
