Breakroom operates a crowdsourced peer-review platform tailored to hourly and shift workers, aggregating ratings and workplace data on policies like sick leave, safety and shift flexibility. The service draws on inputs from roughly 160,000 workers and profiles over 1,400 UK employers. Founders Anna Maybank, James Weiner and Tom Taylor position the product as an analogue to Glassdoor for frontline roles in sectors such as logistics, hospitality and retail. The startup says it uses peer reviews to surface higher-quality jobs and help employers compete on job quality. Breakroom plans to use its latest funding to gather more ratings across the UK market and grow its team to expand coverage. The platform already highlights employer-level differences — for example, distinguishing supermarkets on break policies and notice of shifts — to help workers make informed choices.
