Better than yesterday
We ship the features that shorten a manager’s rostering morning and a worker’s path to the next shift, not vanity dashboards.

About Yakka Hospitality
Built for busy service
We are the Australian hospitality app that puts venues and local staff on the same shift, without the agency runaround. RSA and food safety sit on the profile. Quotes stay in the chat. Show up and get service done.
Who we are
A staffing app, not a waiting room
Yakka Hospitality connects restaurants, cafes, bars, hotels and event teams with workers who already have the certificates and the availability. Same-day and next-day fill when someone nearby is free.
It runs on the same Yakka account as Yakka Labour, so people who work both a building site and a Saturday bar shift keep one profile. And if you are wondering: “yakka” is Australian slang for work.

How it works
From shift post to service
Post in minutes, match on certificates and suburb, then keep chat and payment in one thread until the shift is done.
-
01Post the shift
Venue suburb, start time, role and rate. Or browse the directory and request a quote from a profile.
-
02Match on skills
We show local staff with the right certificates (RSA, RCG, food safety, barista experience) and availability for the shift.
-
03Get service done
Chat, agree the rate in AUD, send the venue details. Timesheets, invoices and messages stay in one place until the shift is finished.
For workers
Shifts that fit around your life
Your RSA, food safety and experience sit on your profile, so venues book on skills, not on who answered the phone first. Free for workers, with no cut of your pay.
-
Students
Pick up shifts around classes and exams. Say when you are free and venues nearby can book you.
-
Working holiday makers
Add your RSA and experience once, then find casual work in whichever city you land in next.
-
Career hospo
Chefs, bartenders and managers keep a profile that shows the venues they have worked and the skills they bring.
Our values
What we care about on a Friday-night rush
Treating people well is not a slogan. It is how the app is supposed to feel when service gets busy.
Transparency
Rates, certificates and suburb are on the profile before anyone agrees. No surprise mark-ups buried in a phone call.
Reliability
Show up, work the shift, get paid. We design the app so no-shows are harder and good staff get booked again.
People first
Yakka is Australian slang for work. The product is for the people who do it: on the floor, behind the bar, in the kitchen.
