Craft beer knowledge visible on shifter profiles
Cicerone certification, brewery experience, and craft specialty appear on profiles.
Restaurants & Food Service
Taproom servers, production helpers, tasting-room staff. BC and California have exploded with craft breweries. ShiftSee keeps the staffing caught up.
The moment that matters
Saturday, 2 PM. Your taproom lead just messaged that she's got a migraine coming on. You've got a release day for your new IPA, expected to draw 200+ people through the afternoon. You need someone who can pour beer, talk about the styles, and run a busy taproom by 3 PM at the latest.
ShiftSee is built for exactly this moment — and for every shift you run between now and the next one.
What you get
Cicerone certification, brewery experience, and craft specialty appear on profiles.
Broadcast specific-event shifts with location and expected volume included.
Not just taproom — ShiftSee covers packaging day, cellar work, and production support.
BC has 200+ breweries, many of them small. Shifters often work at 2-3 of them.

Why ShiftSee works here
Most of your shift work isn't new work. It's the same work, done again. The same weekend crew. The same specialty staff for peak events. The same closers on a Friday night. ShiftSee is built for that reality — every connection you make gets stronger the more you use it, and every shifter's rating and reliability follows them across every business they work with. After six months, you've built a trusted private crew that compounds in value month over month.
Getting started
(free). 2 minutes.
Everyone you'd text first when a shift opens up. They sign up, connect to you, and they're ready.
Schedule one. Broadcast one. Whatever hurts most.
Pat Rousseau, our co-founder, personally onboards every new business in the first 60 days. He'll walk you through setup, answer questions, and stay available by text during your first week live.
No subscription. No setup fees. You only pay when a shift happens. If ShiftSee saves you a single bad-day disaster, it's paid for itself several times over.
