What is Croux?
Croux is a mobile app that connects hospitality talent with flexible shift work at local restaurants, hotels, event venues, and more. Think of it as a marketplace where you can find and pick up shifts that fit your schedule.
Browse All or Recommended shifts, then use Search or Filters to narrow the list.
How does it work?
- Sign up — Download the app and create your account. You'll need a valid phone number (required for all signup methods, including Google and Apple sign-in) and a government-issued ID for identity verification.
- Complete your profile — Add your experience and complete the shift’s outstanding prerequisites. If you have no work history, complete TARA, the profile intake call, or add your history under More → Work Experience. Some shifts require TARA even with work history, until you complete a Croux shift without a negative rating from the business. Background-check consent and screening are separate steps; screening starts when a business first selects you.
- Browse shifts — Filter by pay, date, time, and location to find work that fits your schedule
- Apply — Submit your application for shifts you're interested in
- Check your shift status — Croux uses your positions, experience and ratings to match you with opportunities. Open My Shifts: if a shift says Selected, tap Accept to claim an available spot. If it shows Confirm, confirm before the displayed deadline. See how to confirm your shift; Selected is different from Hired or Confirmed.
- Work the shift — Show up, clock in with the app, do great work, clock out
- Get paid — Rate the shift, the business approves your time, and your pay is released to your Stripe balance about 24 hours after the shift's scheduled end. Your first payout also carries a one-time background check fee.
Bartending shifts work differently. Concierge does not fill them automatically: they are selected rather than matched, by the venue or by Croux. Your experience, your ratings and the venues who have favorited you still shape who gets picked.
What makes Croux different?
- Flexibility — Work when you want, where you want. No set schedule required.
- Fast pay — Rate the shift and your pay releases about 24 hours after the scheduled end.
- Build your reputation — Your ratings and completed shifts help you level up and unlock better opportunities. Businesses can favorite you, and being someone's favorite puts you first in line the next time they post.
- Real businesses — Work with established local restaurants and national hospitality brands.
