Cook jobs — common questions
Can I take cooking jobs for events only?
Yes. Catering and event kitchens are a large share of the cook work on GiG, and those jobs are usually one or two days.
Does it cost anything to join GiG?
Creating your profile and receiving offers costs nothing. GiG takes a small platform fee on a completed hire, so the wage a company offers is the figure before that fee.
When do I get paid?
Payment for a job is held in escrow and released once the work is signed off, so it does not depend on the company remembering to pay you. Withdrawals go to your bank account.
Are the companies on GiG genuine?
Every company is verified — business details and registration proof — before it can hire anyone. Workers only ever receive offers from companies that cleared that check.
