Recruitment software for pubs, bars & cafés
Hire hospitality staff without drowning in CVs, emails, or subscription software.
Hiring in hospitality is constant, but informal
Most pubs, bars, and cafés hire reactively: someone leaves, hours increase, or short-notice cover is needed. CVs arrive constantly - handed over the bar or counter, emailed or sent via social media.
Without a system to organise applications, good candidates get buried, and old CVs remain in inboxes long after they’re relevant - storing personal data this way is against UK GDPR and the law, and could put your business at risk.
Traditional ATS platforms assume office roles, structured hiring, and ongoing HR management - rarely a good fit for hospitality.
Common pain points
- High staff turnover and frequent short-notice hiring
- Speculative CVs arriving daily, with nowhere to put them
- Email inboxes doubling as "HR systems"
- No clear GDPR retention rules for CVs and personal information
- Expensive subscription software that keeps charging between hires
How Yay Monday works for pubs, bars & cafés
Yay Monday lets you manage hospitality recruitment in two ways:
- Speculative CV inbox: Keep a dedicated inbox open for ongoing applications. Each inbox is 1 credit per month. All CVs and data is stored securely, and automatic deletion keeps you GDPR compliant. This is ideal for high turnover roles where candidates apply even when you're not actively hiring.
- Active vacancies: Manage a specific role for a fixed period. Each vacancy uses 1 credit per month for the duration. Candidates apply directly to that vacancy, making it easy to manage applicants throughout the process for particular positions. Once you're done, the vacancy expires and you stop paying for it. Simple.
You control how many inboxes and vacancies are active at any time. Each active item represents an ongoing cost while in use, giving you clear control over recruitment spending.
