Shift Social
Read full descriptionHide full description
Shift is a place for servers, cooks, bartenders, dishwashers, hosts, managers and everyone in between to share anything about their daily shifts with colleagues and peers. Use Shift to: • Share moments from service – the good, the bad, and the ridiculous • Post to your city feed or just to the people you follow • React to posts from other restaurant workers • Swap stories or recipes in The Pit (our forum-style section) • Find your people in the industry, not just in your own restaurant You can filter your feed by city or by who you follow, so you can zoom in on your local scene or see what restaurant workers are talking about elsewhere. Shift is not a job board and it’s not for guests or customers. It’s for people who actually work in restaurants and live the industry every day. Whether you’re on the line, on the floor, behind the bar, or running the pass, Shift gives you a place to talk to people who get it.
