Hiring and jobs
Post a job ad, answer every applicant and book project help
Write the ad once, with a pay range, and publish it on the Mosey Jobs site. Answer every applicant from one inbox. For one-off project work, freelancers are available, with shift work and core kitchen and floor roles left out.
Free to list: your menu, replies and photos.
How many good applicants do you lose to slow replies?
The ad goes up on three sites, replies come by email and message, and half get buried during a busy service. The best applicant accepts another offer while you are still reading CVs.
On Mosey the ad is yours to write and answer. Workers looking for food and hospitality work search the Jobs site, save an ad and apply, and they hear back from you there.
How do you post an ad?
Write it as a draft, read it aloud and publish. Give the pay range, the hours and the work. Screening questions help you sort applicants, and Mosey keeps a library of neutral ones, with French versions for Quebec.
Open the applicants list, read each message, reply to everyone and arrange a trial shift. A post for your own staff can be kept internal, and then it is never shown to the public.
What does Ontario add?
A public ad from an Ontario business with 25 or more employees must answer two yes or no questions before it can go live: is this an existing vacancy, and do you use AI to screen applicants? Mosey asks both and shows the answers on the public posting under "About this post". The form says that Mosey does not use AI to screen applicants, so answer yes only if you use your own AI tools.
An Ontario business under 25 may answer, and everyone else is not asked.
What about freelancers for a project?
The contractor marketplace in Canada is projects only. A business cannot post, accept or take applications for shift work, and cannot book a core kitchen or floor role (chef, cook, server, bartender, porter, host and the like), even as a one-off project.
A creator booked to post about you must say the post is paid. The booking asks you to confirm the disclosure, the creator acknowledges it, and a paid or gifted mark appears on any rating they leave.
What does a worker have to confirm?
A first profile needs a tick that the worker is 18 or over and the province they work from, which a postal code names. A postal code from another province is refused.
Where the rules differ
Hiring is regulated by the province. These are the points Mosey builds in.
- Ontario
- Businesses with 25 or more employees answer the two ad questions on a public post. The rule's detail has not yet been confirmed against the official text.
- Contractor marketplace
- Projects only in every province: no shift work and no core kitchen or floor roles.
- Screening questions
- Mosey warns when a question touches a topic employers are advised to avoid, such as age, family, religion, disability, salary history or Canadian experience. The warning never blocks the ad and is not legal advice.
- Quebec
- The question library carries a French version for each neutral question.
Rules change. Check any rule that matters to you with your accountant or adviser.
What Mosey is about
Affordable tools for food businesses
Tools priced for independents and small chains, not for the big groups.
A full suite, in one login
The tools a restaurant, café or bar needs sit together, so you are not paying for a stack of separate subscriptions.
You keep more of your revenue
Mosey is built so that more of every sale stays with the business that made it.
Free to list and claim
Your menu, your replies to guests and your photos cost nothing to put on Mosey.
No hidden fees
What Mosey charges is published, in full, so nothing arrives as a surprise on a statement.
Made for local food businesses
Mosey helps diners find independent food businesses by dish and mood, and lets people rate what they actually ate.
Questions owners ask
Where do workers see my ad?
On the Mosey Jobs site, where they can search, save an ad and apply.
Does Mosey check right to work?
No. Contracts, right-to-work checks and pay rules are yours to handle.
Can I hire someone for one shift?
Not in Canada. The freelance side is for projects only.
Can I hire a cook as a freelancer?
No. Core kitchen and floor roles are not bookable, even as a one-off.
Is the Jobs site the same as the staff tools?
No. Jobs is for people you do not yet employ. The staff tools hold the rota and records of people who work for you.
Does Mosey screen applicants with AI?
No. Knockout questions apply fixed answers that you set.
Can I keep an ad private?
Yes. A post for your own staff can be internal and is never public.
