Pioneering Instant Payouts in the hospitality industry
Instant Payouts
Swedish startup Gigleer is a digital platform that matches workers with jobs within hospitality. Through Gigleer, restaurants and hotels can find personnel for a specific job. Indeed, recruiting staff is an issue that impacts the whole of hospitality. During the Covid-19 pandemic, roughly 25% of employees left the industry. From this, founder Marcus Boström saw the need to urgently match employers and staff – the solution? Gigleer.
Challenge
The gig economy is about speed, from registering for work and interacting with potential employers to receiving wages. Gig workers juggle multiple projects at a time and belong to a generation that grew up with a ‘digital-first’ lifestyle. They expect things to happen quickly and easily; waiting one to three bank days to get paid is unacceptable. If 75% of consumers consider it essential to receive Instant Payments from businesses, Gigleer knew it was time to seek out a better, quicker way to pay gig workers in a way that reflects the fast-paced environment in which they operate.
Solution
Using Brite Instant Payouts, Gigleer is simplifying the customer experience for gig workers. Once a worker completes a job, they instantly receive a notification through the app that their salary or agreed payment is to be paid out within x seconds. This fast and convenient payment method perfectly suits gigers ready to move on to their next project.
