Temporary staff for restaurants, cafés, shops and hotels

The questions venue owners ask before trying someone new, answered straight, with no promises.
“Will they actually turn up?”
Before you accept, you see their ratings from the venues they have worked with and the shifts they have completed. On the day, the app shows you whether they have arrived, and if they haven’t, the Saiiy team calls you and works out a solution with you.
See the shift from your side“What if someone cancels before the shift?”
The Saiiy team calls you and works out a solution with you. If a worker cancels before the shift, we look for a replacement.
Someone cancelled today? Here’s what to do“I only need extra hands for the rush.”
That’s exactly what a shift is for: you post it for the hours you need, with no commitment afterwards. If the rush comes every week, you post it every week.
Getting ready for rush hours“I need someone permanent, not a shift.”
The Saiiy team no longer hires full-time or part-time staff for venues. What is available now is shifts, and if your need comes back every week, you post it as shifts every week.
Ways to work with Saiiy“I already have staff.”
Saiiy doesn’t replace your team. It is extra hands when you need them: in a rush, or when someone on your team cancels at short notice. Your team stays as it is.
“How much does it cost?”
You set the pay for each shift and write it on the shift before anyone applies. Everything else is agreed with the Saiiy team, based on what you need.
Send what you need to the team“What do you need from me to start?”
The type of venue and its area, the role, the time, and the number. You don’t need to send any documents in your first message.
Prepare your message to the team“Do I use the app, or talk to someone?”
You start with a message to the Saiiy team on WhatsApp or by email. The team helps you post your first shift, and follows up with you afterwards.
“Who has the final say?”
You do. With a shift, you choose whom to accept from the applicants, and no worker can apply until our team has reviewed their account.
You send the Saiiy team a message with what you need. The team helps you post your first shift with the role, the time, the pay and the number of workers. Reviewed workers apply, and you accept them until the number is filled; on the day, the app shows who has arrived.
Yes. You set the number when you post, and accept applicants until it is filled.
No. Every shift stands on its own: you post it when you need it, with no commitment afterwards.
Saiiy has roles for restaurants and cafés, shops and supermarkets, and hotels, event halls, event management and catering companies, in Cairo. If your venue isn’t one of these, or you want to know current availability, ask the Saiiy team.
