Hire direct, skip the markup
A traditional bar staff agency adds 20-50% on top of the worker's wage and decides who you get. CrewPool is a directory: you browse the list free, pick the people you want, and ring them direct. The same worker costs you less because nobody's taking a margin in the middle.
What it costs
You agree the hourly rate directly with the worker - usually around £13–£16 an hour. CrewPool takes no cut of their pay and adds no agency markup; you pay only a small fee to unlock a confirmed-available person's contact, then you ring them.
Cover a shift fast
Filter by distance from your venue and by date, so you only see bar staff who can actually work when you need them. The fuller your local list, the faster you cover a last-minute gap - which is why growing the crew comes first.
