Disclaimers

Barista Gigs is a listing and matching service. We are not the employer of any barista, we are not a temporary-work, staffing, or placement agency, we do not supply or lend labour, and we do not supervise, direct, or control anyone’s work. Gigs are meant for registered independent baristas working as professionals; employed positions are hired directly by the café. How a given arrangement is classified in law depends on how the café and barista actually work together, not on what the listing says — and that classification, with its consequences (contributions, taxes, insurance, permits), is the responsibility of the café and the barista, not of Barista Gigs. Sections 3 to 6 of the Terms set out what each side must do to keep it clean.

We do not run background checks, verify certifications, confirm work eligibility, or audit cafés’ premises. Profiles, portfolios, recommendations, reviews, and gig descriptions are written by users. Reliability statistics (confirmed shifts, show-up rates) and star ratings summarise what cafés and baristas recorded about each other — we do not independently verify that any shift happened or happened as described. Exercise the same judgment you would with any stranger: meet first if you can, check references, and trust your instincts.

All payment for shifts happens directly between café and barista. We do not hold funds, guarantee payment, mediate pay disputes, or verify the payment details baristas share. Only share payment information you are comfortable giving to a counterparty, and only after a gig is actually agreed. The one payment we do make ourselves is the barista referral bonus described in the Terms — it is a marketing reward from us, unrelated to pay for any shift.

Café locations are geocoded from user-entered addresses and displayed using OpenStreetMap data (© OpenStreetMap contributors). Positions can be imprecise or wrong — confirm the address with the café before travelling.

• Gigs can be edited, filled, or withdrawn by cafés at any time; a listing is not a guarantee of work.
• Notifications are delivered best-effort and may be delayed; don't rely on them for time-critical decisions.
• We may change or discontinue features as the product evolves.

Nothing on this platform — including these pages — is legal, tax, or employment advice. For questions about your specific situation, consult a qualified professional in your country. See also our Terms of Service and Privacy Policy.
