Hiring and jobs
Hire for your restaurant without paying a recruiter
Write a job ad with a pay range, publish it on the Mosey Jobs site and answer every applicant from one inbox. For one-off project work, Mosey also connects you with freelancers, with shift work and core kitchen and floor roles left out.
Free to list: your menu, replies and photos.
What does it cost to lose a good applicant?
A vacancy goes on three sites, applications arrive by email and message, and half get lost in the middle of a Friday service. The good applicant takes another offer while you are still replying.
On Mosey you write the ad once. Workers looking for food and hospitality work find it on the Mosey Jobs site, search, save it and apply, and they hear back from you through Mosey.
How do you post a job ad?
Write the vacancy as a draft, read it aloud, then publish. Add the pay range, the hours and what the job involves. Screening questions help you sort applicants, and Mosey keeps a library of neutral ones.
Open the applicants list, read each message, reply to everyone and arrange a trial shift with the people you like. A post only for your own staff can be kept internal and never shows to the public.
Which questions is a screening form not allowed to ask?
Employers are advised not to ask about topics such as age, family, religion, disability or salary history. Mosey holds that list as a table by state, each entry with its source and the date it was checked, and warns you when a question touches one. A warning never blocks your ad. The question picker lists neutral questions.
What about hiring freelancers for a project?
The contractor marketplace in the United States is projects only. A business cannot post, accept or take applications for shift work there, 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 your business 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 you.
How does a worker apply?
A worker's first profile needs a tick that they are 18 or over, and the state they work from. A ZIP code names the state, and a ZIP in another state is refused. Workers upload a CV, apply with a message and see the status of every application.
Where the rules differ
Hiring rules differ by state. These are the points Mosey builds in.
- Contractor marketplace
- Projects only in every state: no shift work and no core kitchen or floor roles, whatever the state.
- Screening questions
- The list of topics to avoid is a table by state, each row with its source and check date. It warns and never blocks, and it is not legal advice.
- Staff tools
- The United States is on the basic level, so Mosey does not draft contracts or check right to work. Both stay with you.
Rules change. Check any rule that matters to you with your accountant or adviser.
What Mosey is about

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 job ad?
On the Mosey Jobs site, where they can search, save a job 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 a single shift?
Not in the United States. The freelance side is for projects only.
Can I hire a chef or bartender as a freelancer?
No. Core kitchen and floor roles are not bookable there, 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, hours and records of people who already work for you.
Can I keep a job ad private?
Yes. A post for your own staff can be internal, and it is never shown to the public.
Does Mosey screen applicants with AI?
No. Knockout questions apply the fixed answers you set.
More for your business
