GigMe Staff Operations is built for the moments when events need people, fast. Whether you're a host scrambling to staff a wedding this weekend or a worker looking to pick up an extra shift between jobs, GigMe connects Canadian event organizers with verified, ready-to-work gig staff — bartenders, waitstaff, cleaners, stagehands, security, and catering crew — in just a few taps.
For hosts: post a gig in minutes, set your budget, and get matched with nearby workers who are background-checked and rated by other organizers. No agencies, no long contracts, no waiting on the phone.
For workers: set your own availability, claim gigs that match your skills, and get paid quickly after every shift through secure built-in payouts. GigMe Staff Operations is currently available across Canada, excluding Quebec, with coverage in Vancouver, Calgary, Edmonton, Toronto, Ottawa, Winnipeg, and Halifax — and growing.
We're putting the finishing touches on the app now. Join the waitlist below to be the first to know when GigMe launches in your city.
Every GigMe worker gets a personal referral code. Invite a friend to start working a gig, and once they complete their first 30 days, you get $20 CAD — straight to your account. Hosts save too: 20% off your next booking fee for every host you refer. The more you share, the more you earn.
"I picked up two bartending gigs in my first week on the waitlist preview. Got paid the same night both times."
"As a host, finding reliable waitstaff for a 200-person wedding used to take weeks. GigMe found me a full crew in two days."
"I love that I can just open the app between classes and grab a shift nearby. No scheduling calls, no hassle."

GigMe is operated by GigMe Staff Operations ("we," "us," "our") and is accessible via the GigMe mobile application and website (gigme.ca). GigMe is a two-sided gig staffing marketplace operating across Canada. We connect Hosts — event organizers, hospitality businesses, and venue operators — with independent Gig Workers such as bartenders, waitstaff, event coordinators, and hospitality professionals, for short-term, hourly-rate work engagements. Our platform covers the full gig lifecycle: gig discovery via map and feed, application and hiring, secure Stripe payments, GPS-based check-in, in-app messaging, dual completion confirmation, automated payouts, and bidirectional ratings. GigMe is a technology intermediary only. We do not employ Gig Workers, direct their work, or act as a staffing agency. The working relationship exists solely between the Host and the Gig Worker.

"GigMe" means the GigMe mobile application operated by GigMe Staff Operations. "Gig Worker" and "Independent Contractor" are used interchangeably to mean any individual who uses GigMe to find and perform short-term gig work. "Host" means any individual or organization that uses GigMe to post gig opportunities and hire independent workers. "GigMe Staff Operations" means the corporate entity that owns and operates the GigMe platform (gigme.ca). "Platform" means the GigMe mobile application, website, and all associated services. "Contracted Services" means any gig work performed by a Gig Worker through the Platform.
By accessing, downloading, or using GigMe, you confirm that you have read, understood, and agree to be bound by these Terms and Conditions in full. If you do not agree, you must not use the Platform. Your continued use constitutes ongoing acceptance. These terms apply to all users including Hosts, Gig Workers, and visitors.
GigMe is a technology platform only. GigMe connects Hosts with independent Gig Workers but is not an employer, staffing agency, labour broker, or employment agency. GigMe does not direct, supervise, control, or manage the work performed by Gig Workers. GigMe does not set work schedules, assign tasks, or evaluate worker performance. GigMe does not guarantee the quality, safety, timeliness, or legality of any gig posting or service provided. The contractual relationship for any gig exists solely between the Host and the Gig Worker. GigMe is not a party to that agreement.
All Gig Workers using GigMe are independent contractors, not employees of GigMe or of any Host. Gig Workers retain the right to perform services for other businesses simultaneously. Gig Workers are solely responsible for: reporting and paying all applicable income taxes, self-employment taxes, and HST/GST to the CRA; all payroll taxes, workers' compensation premiums, and employment insurance (EI) contributions — GigMe does not remit these on your behalf; carrying appropriate liability insurance where required; complying with all applicable laws. GigMe does not provide EI, workers' compensation, vacation pay, statutory holidays, overtime, or any employment benefit to Gig Workers.
You must be at least 19 years of age. You must provide accurate, complete, and current information during registration. You are responsible for maintaining the security of your account credentials and are liable for all activity under your account. You must have legal authorization to work in Canada or the USA. Hosts must be legally authorized to post work opportunities in their jurisdiction. One person may maintain only one account — duplicate accounts will be terminated without notice. GigMe reserves the right to verify your identity at any time and to suspend or terminate accounts that provide false information.
Gig Workers must submit a valid government-issued ID before applying to any gig. GigMe officers review and approve or reject ID submissions at their sole discretion. A verified status may be revoked if fraud is detected at any time. GigMe is not liable for delays caused by verification processing times or document review backlogs.
Users may not: provide false, misleading, or fraudulent information; impersonate any person or entity; harass, threaten, discriminate against, or harm other users; circumvent the GigMe payment system by arranging payment outside the Platform; post gig listings for illegal, security-related, or prohibited job roles — security roles are not available on GigMe; use the Platform for any unlawful purpose; scrape, copy, or reverse-engineer any part of the Platform; use automated systems or bots; attempt to gain unauthorized access to any system, account, or data; post spam, malware, or offensive content; contact or hire workers outside the Platform after being introduced through GigMe. GigMe reserves the right to remove any content or suspend any user without notice and without liability. All gig postings must have a minimum scheduled duration of 3 hours. GigMe reserves the right to remove any gig posting that does not meet this minimum duration requirement.
All payments are processed through Stripe, a third-party payment processor. By using the Platform you agree to Stripe's terms of service. Hosts are charged upon hire confirmation. Payment is held in authorization for 48 hours before capture. GigMe charges a 15% service fee on all Host transactions — this fee is non-refundable. Applicable provincial taxes (GST/HST/PST) are applied based on the gig location province. The Gig Worker service fee is 7%, deducted from the worker's payout. Gig Workers never pay PST. All prices are in Canadian Dollars (CAD). Promotion fees ($24.99 CAD tax-inclusive) are non-refundable. GigMe is not liable for payment processor failures, bank delays, or third-party payment errors. Payouts to Gig Workers are initiated within 2 hours of gig completion verification, subject to platform checks. GigMe reserves the right to withhold payment during active disputes.
A. Host cancels entire gig — More than 24 hours before start: Full refund to Host including service fee and taxes. No worker payment.
A. Host cancels entire gig — 8–24 hours before start (with hired workers): 50% of hourly charges released to Host (service fee not refunded). 50% of hourly captured for worker, net of worker fee and taxes.

D. General: Released or refunded amounts are credited to the original payment method within approximately 5–7 business days. GigMe is not responsible for bank processing delays.
Check-In: Gig Workers must GPS check-in upon arrival. The Host must approve the check-in before the shift is recorded as started.
Late Arrival: Payment is calculated based on actual time worked. Late arrival deductions apply to Gig Worker payout only.
No-Show Grace Period: 90 minutes from scheduled start (all gigs have a minimum 3-hour duration). Workers with 3 or more no-shows are automatically suspended.
No-Show Dispute Period: An 8-hour dispute window opens when a no-show is recorded. If resolved in Host's favour: uncaptured authorization cancelled, full refund to Host. If resolved in Worker's favour: payment captured and worker paid.

By Hosts: You agree to indemnify GigMe Staff Operations from any claims arising from your gig postings, your conduct toward Gig Workers, your failure to provide a safe working environment, or your violation of applicable laws.
Disputes between Hosts and Gig Workers must be submitted through the GigMe in-app dispute system. GigMe officers will review disputes and issue a binding decision within 14 calendar days. GigMe's decision is final. Any legal claims not resolved through the platform must go to binding arbitration, waiving the right to jury trial. Users waive the right to participate in any class action lawsuit or class-wide arbitration against GigMe.
Both Hosts and Gig Workers may rate each other following gig completion. Ratings must be honest and reflect actual experience. GigMe reserves the right to remove reviews that are fraudulent, abusive, or in violation of these Terms. You may not threaten, coerce, or incentivize another user to provide a specific rating.
GigMe collects and processes personal data in accordance with PIPEDA (Canada) and CCPA (USA). Data collected includes name, email, phone, location, ID documents, payment information, and platform activity. GigMe does not sell personal data to third parties.

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, GIGME STAFF OPERATIONS' TOTAL LIABILITY SHALL NOT EXCEED THE TOTAL FEES PAID BY THAT USER TO GIGME IN THE 12 MONTHS PRIOR TO THE CLAIM.

GigMe operates a referral program that allows eligible users to earn rewards by inviting others to join the platform.
Gig Worker Referrals: A registered Gig Worker may share their unique referral code with individuals who have not previously registered on GigMe. When a new Gig Worker signs up using a valid referral code and successfully completes their first paid gig (as confirmed by both the Gig Worker and the Host), the referral is marked as qualified. The referring Gig Worker will receive a cash reward of CAD $20.00 via Stripe transfer, credited no earlier than thirty (30) days after the date of qualification. Total referral rewards paid to a single referring Gig Worker are capped at CAD $200.00 lifetime; once this cap is reached, further qualifying referrals will not generate additional cash rewards. GigMe reserves the right to withhold or reverse the reward if the qualifying gig is subsequently disputed, cancelled, or found to be in violation of these Terms.
Host Referrals: A registered Host may share their unique referral code with individuals who have not previously registered on GigMe as a Host. When a new Host signs up using a valid referral code and completes their first confirmed booking with a successful payment, the referral is marked as qualified. The referring Host will receive a 20% discount applied to the service fee on their next eligible booking. This discount is applied automatically and cannot be exchanged for cash or transferred to another account.
General Conditions: Referral codes are non-transferable and may only be used once per new user. Self-referrals (using one's own code) are not permitted and will be automatically rejected. GigMe applies a lifetime cap of CAD $200.00 in referral rewards per referring user, and may flag or reject referrals that show signs of abuse, including matching account details or shared signup activity between referrer and referee. GigMe reserves the right to modify, suspend, or terminate the referral program at any time without prior notice. Abuse of the referral program, including but not limited to creating fraudulent accounts, will result in disqualification of all associated rewards and may lead to account suspension.

GigMe was built by people who believe good work deserves real respect — and real pay. Every bartender, host, stagehand, and event coordinator on this platform is part of something bigger. We show up for each other. We hold each other to a higher standard. And we grow together. These guidelines aren't rules forced on you. They're the values our community has chosen to live by.
GigMe operates across Canada — one of the most diverse countries in the world. Our platform is stronger because of the people in it: workers and hosts from every background, culture, language, and walk of life.
We are proud to be a community that includes and celebrates people of all races, ethnicities, national origins, religions, genders, gender identities, sexual orientations, abilities, and ages. LGBTQ2+ members are a valued and inseparable part of who we are — their presence makes our community richer, and their safety and dignity are non-negotiable.
We also acknowledge with deep respect that GigMe operates on the traditional and unceded territories of Indigenous Peoples across Canada. Indigenous workers, hosts, and communities are not just welcome here — they are foundational to the spirit of this platform. We are committed to building relationships rooted in respect, recognition, and reconciliation.
Diversity is not a policy. It is our foundation.
We don't do average here. Whether you're pouring drinks at a wedding or running a 500-person festival, you bring your best — every single time. That's what separates a GigMe worker from everyone else.
This community is built on mutual respect. Period. We don't tolerate harassment, discrimination, or disrespect of any kind — based on race, gender, religion, age, disability, or sexual orientation. One strike. Account gone. No appeals.
Show Up. Always. You committed. They're counting on you. If something comes up, communicate immediately through the app — never ghost a gig.
Look Sharp. You represent yourself, the host, and GigMe. Dress professionally, arrive ready, and leave an impression they won't forget.
Own Your Check-In. Always check in and mark complete through the app. This is how you get paid and how you build your reputation. Don't skip it.
Your Rating Is Your Brand. Five stars don't happen by accident. Be reliable, be professional, be early. Your rating opens doors — protect it.
Keep Your Certs Current. Serving It Right, Food Safe, whatever your gig requires — keep it valid, keep it uploaded. Expired certs = missed opportunities.
Write Gigs That Attract the Best. Be specific. Great workers choose great gigs. Tell them exactly what you need, what to wear, and what to expect.
Pay What the Work Is Worth. Fair pay attracts top talent. The best workers on this platform have options — make yours the gig they want.
Welcome Your Team. Your workers chose your gig. Greet them, brief them, support them. The best events happen when hosts and workers are on the same team.
Confirm Fast. When a gig wraps up, mark it complete. Your workers earned it — don't make them wait.
Respect Their Time. Last-minute cancellations hurt real people who turned down other work for yours. Plan ahead. Communicate early.
Automatic permanent bans:
— Sexual harassment or assault of any kind
— Threatening, violent, or intimidating behaviour
— Fraud, identity theft, or fake credentials
— Arranging off-platform payments to avoid fees
— Showing up impaired — drugs or alcohol on the job
— Soliciting workers or hosts outside GigMe
Minor first offence → Warning
Repeated or moderate → Temporary suspension
Severe or zero-tolerance → Permanent ban
Report in-app or email support@gigme.ca — We respond within 24 hours.
Every gig matters. Every worker matters. Every host matters. GigMe exists because great events need great people — and great people deserve a platform that has their back. Welcome to the community. Now let's get to work. 🇨🇦
