How are front-of-house freelancers rated on Temper?
After each shift, you rate your hired freelancer, whether it’s a waiter, barista or bartender, from 1 to 5 stars. You can also indicate if they were punctual, professional, and if they had specific skills (such as handling the register or drinks knowledge). This feedback is shown on the freelancer’s profile and helps other hospitality businesses make informed decisions.
How is Temper different from a staffing agency?
With a traditional staffing agency, you deal with intermediaries. With Temper, you work directly with the freelancer. You choose who to invite and know the cost in advance. You also arrange everything online through our platform, from publishing the shift to payment. No hidden fees, no middleman. You stay in control, from posting the shift to paying the freelancer.
Can I build a pool of trusted waiting staff?
Yes. After a successful collaboration, simply add the freelancer to your personal Flexpool. They will automatically be prioritised for future shifts. This way, you will work more often with people who know your business.
