The home screen counts your shifts by status – requested, accepted, confirmed – and takes you straight to search.
Friday, 5 pm
Your cook drops out. Here is how you find a replacement.
The first guests arrive in an hour. You open the app, look for cooks who are free today and close by, and send a request. When someone accepts, you confirm – and you know who will be in your kitchen tonight.

The app is coming to the App Store and Google Play. Until then, everything runs in your web account – with the same data.
What the app takes off your plate
Search nearby
Search by role, day and distance, and see the hourly rate and ratings before you send a request.
Verified documents
A professional can only accept once we have verified their mandatory documents.
Money in escrow
When you confirm, the amount is charged and held on the platform account until the shift is completed.
Receipts, automatically
Once you confirm the hours, the professional's invoice is created – together with the service fee receipt as a PDF in your account.
How a shift runs in the app
Five screens, from the first look to the receipt. Swipe through or pick a step.
What you can rely on
Five mandatory documents
Training or retraining, HACCP, trade licence, tax office letter with the tax number, and identity – verified before a professional can accept.
Escrow via Stripe
The professional is paid only after the shift. If they cancel, you get the charged amount back in full.
Ratings from real shifts
Only people who worked together can rate. Both ratings stay hidden until both are submitted or 14 days have passed.
Frequently asked questions
How short-notice can a professional be booked?
As short-notice as someone accepts — a professional dropping out on the same evening is exactly the situation Sunworker was built for. The search can be narrowed down to a specific day and only shows who is available that day.
When does the venue pay?
Immediately, as soon as the shift is agreed: on confirmation, the full amount is collected from the stored payment method. The money is held in escrow on the platform account until completion and only then goes to the professional.
What does the venue pay Sunworker?
A service fee of 15% of the order value — the professional’s net pay including surcharges, excluding travel. It is collected with the order and invoiced separately by Sunworkers Ltd., without VAT under the reverse charge. Private individuals pay no service fee. The service fee also covers the cost of payment processing – there is no surcharge for card or direct debit.
When do I see a rating?
Ratings are given within 14 days after the shift. Both ratings stay hidden until both are submitted or the 14 days are over. Anonymous ratings appear in batches once at least three are waiting, at the latest after 30 days.
Is the app already in the App Store?
Not yet – it is coming to the App Store and Google Play. Until then you do everything in your web account, with the same sign-in and the same data.
When someone drops out, you find a replacement from your phone.
