I recommend Qwick any chance I get. Qwick has been able to not only fill the shifts, but the quality of professionals from other temp agencies in the field does not compare! The easy-to-use app allows me to post shifts within minutes and have a qualified professional in my unit. Great Job!

When you rely on Qwick for hospitality staffing in New York City and Northern New Jersey, you can trust that you are working with the most qualified freelancers. We never cut corners in our vetting process, so every freelancer has at least one year of experience in the shifts they work, along with all necessary certifications.

When Adam Jed approached Qwick about helping his upscale new American eatery and market, Bluestem, the assumption was that the restaurant needed what most of Qwick’s restaurant partners need: staff in a pinch.
In reality, Adam was looking for a different kind of partnership. Like in many major urban centers, the pandemic ravaged San Francisco’s dining scene. Diners were hesitant to eat out which left many hospitality workers out of jobs. In the wake of the rebound, Adam saw an opportunity to offer an antidote via Bluestem. Instead of hiring full time workers, he decided to build a decentralized staffing model, which would rely on many part time workers, offering more individuals a chance to get back on their feet while allowing Bluestem to operate more nimbly to meet market demands.
Qwick is proud to play an instrumental role in making this staffing program flow by connecting Bluestem to 30+ freelancers each month.
Yes, we offer fully W-2-compliant talent who have undergone our standard Qwick vetting process (1 year of relevant experience, hospitality quiz) in addition to I-9 verification, background checks, state-specific required training, 1:1 interviews, plus more!
To tap into our W-2 talent pool, simply notify your account manager after signing up, or text our support team at 79425.
For 1099, we charge 40% on top of the professional's hourly pay and give you the flexibility to set your own rates. (We advocate for livable wages, and recommend rates based on demand and seasonality to ensure your shifts are filled with the best talent.)
For W-2, the markup depends on different factors, such as your anticipated shift volume and specific business needs. To get a quote, you may do any of the following:
We verify that all Qwick professionals have at least one year of relevant experience in the shifts they’re qualified for and confirm their qualifications during a personal orientation. We also validate each professional’s food and alcohol handling certifications as needed for various shift types.
Any professional you’ve rated 5-stars will be offered first pick at future shifts with your business. You can build your custom roster of preferred talent by rating professionals after each shift.
Feel free! When you (inevitably) find someone you’d like to hire full time, you can do so with no additional fees.
