Questions about the Relief Chefs UK app
How do venues get started?
Download the app for iPhone or Android. Post a shift with the venue location, dates, hours and chef role, then review applicants. Agree the role, hours and rate before the chef travels.
How do chefs find local shifts?
Search by location, date and role. Check the venue, travel arrangements and booking details before applying, and propose your hourly rate through the app.
Can I use the app across the UK?
The marketplace is for UK hospitality venues and freelance chefs. Search your area to see available opportunities; a chef or shift is not guaranteed in every location or on every date.
Is this the same as booking through the agency?
No. App bookings use the self-service marketplace. If you want our recruitment team to find staff for you, send an agency enquiry.
What should we agree before the shift?
Confirm the venue, role, dates, start and finish times, and rate. Include practical information such as the kitchen brief, travel, parking and any accommodation arrangements in your booking discussion.
