There has been a major shift in the last couple of years on the way the employment work force and businesses prioritize and define what it means to accept and offer work today. Flexibility, on both sides, is a prime motivating and in many cases the determining factor for forming a job connection. According to the Statista Research Firm, this is especially true in the hospitality industry where the unemployment rate in the U.S. is at 6.1 percent, double the national average. A main reason for the attrition is due to many restaurants and bars either closing or downsizing. Yet, according to recent Bureau of Labor statistics there are over 1.5 million unfilled positions at hotels, bars and restaurants with bartending leading the way. Today, there is a platform which seamlessly connects bartenders seeking adaptable work schedules with bar owners who need them. Introducing, the Bar-bak APP. The Bar-bak app allows for bartenders and bar owners or managers to find each other via their own customized profiles. It is easy to use. Bartenders simply create their portfolio by including a photo, location, experience, skill sets and availability. Separately, bar, restaurant and hotel managers also create their profile by also including a photo, location as well as the type of POS system used, a calendar for the shifts needed, dress code and more. Once a connection is made the hiring process begins. Additionally, Bar-bak has the added benefit for traveling bartenders seeking to earn extra money as well as bars seeking short term help during their peak hours. The Bar-bak app is also perfect for private parties and events seeking bartenders for hire. Bar-bak is the creation of Sibel-Judi, a bartender with over 10 years experience. She states, “I created Bar-bak because I saw a need to bring together bartenders and bar owners everywhere. Bar-bak will help experienced or new bartenders find work while helping many bars and hotels keep their lights on. This is a win-win situation.” Whether you are a college student, seasoned bartender or bar owner, download the Bar-bak app on iOS today for your free one-month trial period. Bar-bak has your back.

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: parcscan at none against Bar's 1. parcscan also leads on iOS requirement (15.6 vs 26.1). Bar's advantage is update cadence (fortnightly vs every 4 months). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
