Hire bartenders, door security & kitchen staff in Austin
Post an open shift and get applicants from workers already near Sixth Street — no staffing agency, no markup, no waiting days for a callback. Your first post is free.
Who this is for
Bar owners, restaurant managers, and nightlife venues in downtown Austin who need to fill a shift fast — a bartender who called out, extra door security for a busy weekend, a prep cook for the week ahead. If you're within the Sixth Street corridor, ShiftChef puts your shift in front of workers actively looking, today.
How it works
- Add your venue. Name, address, and a photo if you've got one — under a minute.
- Post the shift. Pick the role — Bartender, Door Security, Line Cook, Prep Cook, Dishwasher, or Kitchen Staff — set the pay, hours, and how many people you need.
- Review who applied. See their name, contact info, and experience.
- Hire with one click. Sends a message with next-steps instructions built in — when to show up, what to bring, how to introduce themselves.
Pricing
Your first job post on ShiftChef is free. After that, it's $20 per shift, or $50 for a 3-pack if you're posting regularly. No subscription, no agency percentage, no hidden fees.
Why venues choose ShiftChef over a staffing agency
Agencies mark up every hour and take days to respond. ShiftChef puts your post in front of workers directly, the same day, at a flat cost you know upfront. You pick who you hire — not an agency dispatcher.
