Sidekicker connects skilled bar staff with venues across Melbourne: busy bars, pubs, restaurants, and high-volume retail bar service. You choose your shifts, get paid weekly, and build experience across different venues instead of being tied to one employer.
Peak season is coming
A number of our clients across Melbourne are already gearing up, not just for busier holiday periods but also for end-of-year corporate conferences, Christmas events, music concerts and sporting finals. Demand for experienced bar staff spikes hard in the lead-up. Signing up now means you're ready to go when the shifts open up, not scrambling to onboard once the rush has already started. There's plenty of work on the platform right now to help you build up experience and earn money ahead of peak, so you're an even stronger candidate when venues are hiring fast.
Why more hospo workers are choosing Sidekicker
We handle your payroll, tax, super and workplace safety, so there's no admin on your end. Book and manage shifts through the app, no more playing phone-tag or waiting on replies to messages and emails. Whether you want Sidekicker to be your main source of income or just a way to fill the gaps your current employer can't cover, you're in control of how much or how little you take on.
