Seasonal labor pool for harvest
Connect with returning harvest helpers year after year. Their experience and reliability is tracked.
Restaurants & Food Service
Tasting room hosts, harvest crew, crush-season helpers. Okanagan and Vancouver Island are full of small wineries with big seasonal swings.
The moment that matters
Mid-September, your harvest is on and you need extra hands on the crush pad. Same weekend, your tasting room is packed with tourists coming off the Okanagan wine circuit. You can't be in both places. Your usual part-time crush helper is away at school now.
ShiftSee is built for exactly this moment — and for every shift you run between now and the next one.

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.

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.

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.
