JOBSTUFF
Metro Manila F&B shifts
JOBSTUFF is the ad-hoc staffing app where both sides are held to the same standard — because a shift that gets cancelled on you at 6pm isn't a shift, it's a wasted evening.
Open to Filipino citizens and permanent residents aged 18+ · Businesses pay only for shifts that happen
These are the same three complaints that have shown up in reviews of shift apps here for years. Nobody fixed them. That's the whole reason we exist.
If you work shifts
If you run an outlet
Ad-hoc shift work in Metro Manila F&B is unreliable and opaque for both sides — so we made reliability the product, not a promise.
One flow each side. No interview, no deposit, no waiting a week to start.
Four things, each backed by how the product actually works — not by a support promise.
A late cancellation costs whoever made it — including us charging the business, not the worker.
How: cancel inside the cut-off and the business pays a fee that goes to the worker in full; repeated late cancellations affect standing on both sides.
No silent score that quietly ends your access to shifts.
How: every rating carries reason codes, both sides only see each other's rating once both have rated, older ratings count for less, and you can dispute one with a human.
Help during service hours — evenings and weekends, when shifts actually run.
How: support is staffed across F&B service hours with a first-response target, and every dispute is resolved with a written reason on the record.
Straight to your bank. No wallet, no holding period, no withdrawal request.
How: a weekly payout run pays the previous week's completed shifts straight to your GCash, Maya or bank over InstaPay — and it doesn't wait for the business to pay its invoice.
The right-hand column isn't a straw man — it's what shift workers describe about ad-hoc F&B work: late pay, no breakdown, and cancellations that cost them nothing to make and everything to absorb.
| What matters | JOBSTUFF | The usual shift app |
|---|---|---|
| Business cancels late | They pay a cancellation fee and it goes to you in full. | Nothing happens. You absorb the lost evening. |
| Ratings | Reason-coded, revealed only when both sides have rated, and disputable. | An opaque number you can't see the reason for or contest. |
| When something goes wrong | Humans during service hours, with a response target and an audit trail. | A form, an auto-reply, and an answer next working day. |
| Getting paid | Bank transfer every Monday for last week's shifts. | An in-app wallet, holding periods, and a withdrawal to request. |
| Starting out | Phone number, eligibility, payout details — then book. | Deposits, interviews and training before your first shift. |
| What it costs you | Workers pay nothing, ever. Businesses pay only for shifts that actually happen. | Deposits from workers, and agency-style margins on every hour. |
We haven't launched yet, so we're not going to show you testimonials we don't have. Here's what we built from instead: the complaints that keep repeating in public reviews of the apps people use now.
“The business cancelled two hours before the shift. I'd already turned down another one. Nothing I could do.”
Recurring theme — worker reviews
Our answer: the business pays a cancellation fee inside the cut-off, and it goes to the worker in full.
“My rating dropped and no one will tell me why. Now I barely get shifts.”
Recurring theme — worker reviews
Our answer: ratings carry reasons, decay over time, and can be disputed and reviewed by a person.
“Something went wrong on a Saturday night and support only replied on Monday.”
Recurring theme — both sides
Our answer: support runs during F&B service hours, when the problems actually happen.
“The pay goes into a wallet, then there's a hold before I can withdraw it.”
Recurring theme — worker reviews
Our answer: no wallet — a bank transfer every Monday for the week you just worked.

No subscription, no lock-in, nothing to pay before the work happens.
If you work shifts
No signup fee, no deposit, no commission taken off your hourly rate. What the business posts is what you earn.
Open to Filipino citizens and permanent residents aged 18 and above.
If you run an outlet
You set the hourly rate; we add a flat booking fee per completed shift — nothing for a shift that never happened, and the first one is on us.
One weekly invoice covering wages and fees, itemised per shift.
Whichever side you're on, it takes a few minutes to start — and nothing to try.
