Safety Center

Avoid scams

• Never pay a fee to get a shift. Legitimate restaurants never ask for "registration", "training", or "equipment" deposits.
• Never share your Social Security number, photos of identity documents, or bank login through chat.
• Be cautious of anyone who wants to move the conversation off-platform immediately.

Before you work a shift

• Confirm the restaurant name, work address, schedule, pay rate, and who exactly is employing you.
• California minimum wage laws apply — a post below minimum wage violates our guidelines. Report it.
• Meet at the business address. Tell someone where you're going for a first shift.
