Staff available? Or is someone short-handed?

With ALLRECA Workforce Network, hospitality businesses can share staff temporarily. That way you use available capacity and cover staff shortages without every company having to solve everything itself.

Not as a temp agency and not as a public job board. But as a local network of hospitality businesses that makes agreements about availability, temporary deployment, hours and costs.

Pilot / early accessThe functionality is in pilot. Participation takes place via an existing ALLRECA environment and approval within a local cluster. No live participant numbers or coverage areas are claimed.

A service changes faster than a roster.

In hospitality, occupancy is never entirely predictable. This is exactly what creates situations where one venue has people and another venue is looking for people.

An employee would like to work extra hours. Another business suddenly needs someone. The solution is often literally around the corner, but without agreements it cannot be reliably arranged.

  1. 01Unexpected call-outs

    An employee falls ill or a shift drops out at the last moment.

  2. 02Available hours

    An employee has room for an extra shift, but their own business does not have those hours.

  3. 03Peaks and lulls

    The weekend is busy, Tuesday evening is quiet. Demand shifts by day and by season.

  4. 04Reliable temporary capacity

    Loose solutions are hard to control when agreements, hours and costs are not centralized.

From available hours to a completed shift.

The assignment is always temporary and concrete: one shift, one receiving business and clear agreements on role, period and costs.

  1. 01

    Maak beschikbare capaciteit zichtbaar

    An employer indicates per employee when they are temporarily available: date, role, skills, qualifications and the agreed hourly rate.

    Beschikbaarheid
  2. 02

    Vind een passende opdracht of medewerker

    A business with a shortage places a concrete request. The network brings that question together with available capacity, preferably within the same local cluster.

    Matching
  3. 03

    Confirm the temporary deployment

    The involved parties confirm the temporary deployment according to the cluster agreements. Everyone knows beforehand which shift it concerns.

    Toestemming
  4. 04

    Leg de dienst en gewerkte uren vast

    The employee checks in and out. Approved hours, breaks and any extra time are recorded as part of the assignment.

    Hours
  5. 05

    Verreken de kosten tussen de bedrijven

    De oorspronkelijke werkgever ziet de gewerkte uren en het afgesproken uurtarief. De ontvangende zaak ziet hetzelfde bedrag. De bedrijven rekenen onderling af volgens de afspraken.

    Settlement

Friday at 17:00: one service, from request to settlement.

This is what a typical temporary assignment looks like in practice. All names, times and amounts are illustrative.

  1. 17:00

    Café C places a request

    Café C needs a bartender for Friday evening 18:00 to 23:00. The request describes the role, the timing and the period. Not an open vacancy, but a concrete, temporary assignment.

    Request
  2. 17:20

    Restaurant A confirms the assignment

    Restaurant A, the original employer, sees the request in the secure network environment, checks whether the employee is available, and confirms the shift at the agreed hourly rate.

    Confirmation
  3. 18:00

    The service takes place

    The employee works that evening at Café C. Check-in and check-out, breaks and any extra time are recorded. The employment relationship stays with Restaurant A.

    Shift
  4. Monday

    Both parties settle

    Café C and Restaurant A see the same approved hours and the same rate. Settlement follows the cluster's agreements; the platform moves no money.

    Settlement

You share the capacity, not your staff file.

An employee who works at another hospitality business via ALLRECA remains linked to the original company. The temporary deployment does not automatically change who the employer is.

The original employer retains the employment relationship, personnel administration and responsibility for the employee. The receiving business only receives permission to have the agreed shift performed.

Employee Protection makes that boundary explicit: participants do not circumvent each other and the employee remains free to choose another job themselves.

01 / Original employer

Remains the employer.

Grants permission, determines which staff are available and maintains the employment relationship.

02 / Receiving business

Gets temporary space to operate.

Uses the agreed capacity for one shift and takes over no employment.

Make quiet hours productive.

Available capacity does not have to sit idle. Share it carefully, for a clearly defined shift and while preserving the original employment relationship.

You decide which employees are available and for which period. The receiving business only sees what is needed to assess the assignment.

What you get back in return

  1. 01

    Use available capacity for a temporary shift.

  2. 02

    Receive compensation for the approved worked hours.

  3. 03

    Stay in control yourself over who is available, when and where.

  4. 04

    Build a local relationship with nearby hospitality businesses.

  5. 05

    Record assignments, hours and costs centrally.

Target a shortage specifically.

A shortage calls for a concrete solution, not a public vacancy. Look for temporary capacity at a business you trust and record the agreement beforehand.

The assignment remains limited to the agreed shift. This keeps the deployment clear for the receiving business, the original employer and the employee.

Where the network helps

  1. 01

    Find available hospitality workers at businesses in the network.

  2. 02

    Limit the impact of unexpected outages.

  3. 03

    View relevant experience, skills and qualifications.

  4. 04

    Make temporary agreements with clear terms.

  5. 05

    Track shifts, hours and costs without separate paperwork.

Clear boundaries belong to the network.

Employee Protection records that a temporary assignment is not a disguised transfer. The original employer remains visible and the assignment remains limited to the agreed shift.

Participating businesses agree that they will not use a temporary assignment to bypass the original employer or to poach an employee outside the network. That is a contractual agreement between businesses; the employee retains the freedom to change jobs themselves.

  • Original employer remains linkedIdentity and employment relationship are not transferred.
  • The assignment is temporary and specificRole, period, and terms are defined in advance.
  • Agreements on not recruiting each other's staffRecorded in the policy of the original employer.
  • Contact details are protectedThe receiving business does not receive unnecessary personal data.
  • Reporting is possibleSuspicions of violations can be reported and investigated.

Arranged locally, settled transparently.

A Workforce Cluster is a local group of hospitality businesses with agreements on roles, availability, assignment and settlement. The network view shows aggregated supply; published availability is only visible within the secure network environment and is not a public staff list.

After service, the approved hours, breaks and any extra time are recorded. Costs follow the agreed hourly rate. Platform costs, payment processing costs and external costs remain separately visible in the settlement.

The platform is not an employer, payroll company or staffing agency. It does not move money and does not create a final tax invoice.

How Workforce Network works, in short.

The answers below describe the pilot model. They do not replace cluster agreements, legal review or approval for participation.

01Is Workforce Network een uitzendbureau of een openbare vacaturebank?

Nee. Het is een samenwerkingsverband tussen horecabedrijven. Er is geen openbaar bord of anonieme staffingpool: beschikbaarheid, opdrachten en deelnemers worden alleen zichtbaar binnen een goedgekeurd, lokaal cluster.

02Wie is de werkgever als een medewerker bij een andere zaak werkt?

De oorspronkelijke werkgever. Een tijdelijke inzet verandert de arbeidsrelatie niet: die blijft bij het bedrijf waar de medewerker in dienst is. De ontvangende zaak krijgt alleen toestemming om de afgesproken dienst uit te voeren.

03Hoe ver moet een Participant zijn?

Within a local cluster. Participants make their own agreements about the work area. No nationwide coverage area or live cluster locations are claimed; participation follows an approval and pilot process.

04Wat kost het om deel te nemen?

The costs of a temporary deployment follow the agreed hourly rate and cluster agreements. ALLRECA moves no money and makes no final invoice; platform costs, payment processing costs and external costs remain separately visible in the settlement.

05Hoe worden uren en kosten vastgelegd?

De medewerker checkt in en uit voor de afgesproken dienst. Goedgekeurde uren, pauzes en eventuele extra tijd worden vastgelegd met een audit trail. Daarna rekent de ontvangende zaak af met de oorspronkelijke werkgever volgens het afgesproken tarief.

06Wat gebeurt er als een opdracht niet doorgaat?

The assignment returns to an open status and the involved businesses are informed. The exact handling, such as cancellation, replacement or new matching, is recorded in the cluster agreements and is not automatically enforced.

07Is Workforce Network al live beschikbaar?

De functionaliteit is in pilot / early access. Deelname is geen automatische inschrijving en vereist goedkeuring binnen een cluster. Juridische, fiscale en verzekeringstechnische voorwaarden vragen externe beoordeling voordat een cluster operationeel wordt.

Available capacity in view.

The Workforce Network has its own overview in the business environment: which companies are looking, which companies offer availability and how the matching works.

A placement is not an anonymous shell; the original employer remains visible and the hours stay linked to the assignment.

Who works where, and for whom.

When an employee works via the network at another business, they simply remain in your staff list. The receiving business sees their name, the period and the tasks — not the rest of their schedule.

This way “who is working with us today” can always be answered: per person, per date, with the correct employer included.

Own schedule and open shifts for your own people.

An employee logs in at business.allreca.nl and immediately sees their roster: the next upcoming shift is at the top with a Clock in button, the rest of the week below it. The Schedule tab shows exactly the shifts the company has published.

When a shift becomes available, such as a sick colleague or an extra shift, the company posts it in the roster. The employee sees it in the Open tab with date, time, role and a score indicating how well the shift fits. Accepting is one tap; the company approves the assignment.

Open a shift at your own venue, or an assignment via the network.

The Open tab is for open spots at your own business: extra bartenders on Friday, a cover for the dishwasher. Each row shows date, time, role, location and a score indicating how well the shift fits.

The Network tab is something different: it shows assignments from other hospitality businesses in the network, with the hourly rate and the assignment details. The employee accepts or declines, checks in and out, and can report a problem if something goes wrong. That way "working for someone else" is just as formal as a regular shift. Only the employer is a different business.

Find out whether Workforce Network fits your environment.

A network does not start with a button, but with a local group of hospitality businesses that want to make agreements about availability, temporary staffing, and settlement. We first discuss the practice, the boundaries, and the pilot status.

Workforce Network is in pilot / early access. Participation is not automatic enrollment; it is followed by an approval and onboarding process. Legal, tax and insurance conditions require external review.
