Gig is a London-based platform that lets users find and book casual shifts in hospitality and retail via its app. The core feature is instant payout: workers are automatically paid within 24 hours after completing a shift. There is no minimum number of days or hours required to sign up, and users apply for available shifts that fit their schedules. Founders Antony and Daniel Woodcock developed the idea after struggling to staff their sushi restaurant chain, Maki. To fund its London launch, Gig has raised £1 million. The company targets millennials seeking flexible, on-demand work and positions itself as providing immediacy in employment similar to on-demand consumer services.
