Someone just called out. It’s the busiest night of the week. Instead of texting twenty people and hoping, you post the shift to the people you already trust, and someone who knows your floor claims it. Armada takes your group chat and systemizes it for on-call support - former staff, reliable go-to’s, the ones you’d actually want back. Not strangers from a job board. Integrate your schedule. Post a shift in seconds. Automatically offer open shifts to your internal team first, and then your bench. Explore our waters for new workers, vetted by your peers. See each worker’s track record, ratings, and history before you invite them to your crew. No more getting no-showed for interviews. No training someone new every weekend. You run service - we handle W-2 employment, payroll, workers’ comp, and compliance. For crew members: Pick up shifts at restaurants you miss working with, and fill your schedule on your terms. See the pay-rate and tips up front, before you claim. Get paid the day you work, not two weeks later. No applications, no interviews, no competing with a hundred strangers for one shift, no dropping your resume into a void with 5,000 others. Build a rating and a track record that travels with you everywhere you work. Trusted by hospitality operators. Download Armada and sail smoothly.
