  1. Step 01

  2. Step 02

    See who can make it

    Every worker's calendar shows at a glance: available, maybe or booked up. No requests into the void.

    Wage, employer costs and the G-Gastro fee are fixed before you confirm. What you see is what you pay.

The cost check · Why G-Gastro costs less

–

The difference is simple: with G-Gastro you employ the worker yourself and pay only the wage, employer costs and a fixed platform fee. An agency also prices planning, cover for no-shows, admin and its margin into the hourly rate.

One extra pair of hands or the whole wedding crew.

Waiting staff, direct

Book individual workers for a specific shift. You employ them for that shift and pay the agreed wage and the usual employer costs – plus a clear G-Gastro fee.

For single shifts

Freelance cooks

Cooks who invoice you directly. You see the rate, the fee and any VAT – no employer contributions, no surprises.

Rate + fee + VAT at a glance

Big events → partner agencies
