How do I hire hospitality staff in Sydney for a shift?

Post the venue suburb, role (floor, kitchen hand or event crew), start and finish, whether RSA is required, and a written AUD band on Yakka Labour first. Confirm Fair Work before the shift.

Does every hospitality role need an RSA?

No. RSA applies when the person serves or supplies alcohol. Kitchen hands and dry event crew may not need it. Say which in the brief and photograph the card when it is required.

Is hospitality labour hire the same as construction labour hire?

No. White Card and site tickets do not apply to a venue shift. Do not mix the briefs.

Is Yakka a venue or an agency?

No. Yakka Labour is a marketplace. You still run service standards, RSA compliance on the night, and Fair Work pay.

How should hosts set rates for hospitality shifts?

Write the hourly AUD band, including late finishes and public holidays, and confirm the award on Fair Work.
