FAQ

Hiring line cooks in Houston: FAQ.

More answers in our full FAQ.

Our indicative all-in rate for line cooks is $25–$28 per hour. That covers the worker's pay, payroll taxes, workers' comp, liability insurance and screening. Local wages in Texas, overtime, certifications and same-day orders can move the rate, and a dispatcher confirms the exact number before you book.

You can book a single worker. Estimates are built on a 4-hour minimum shift, and your dispatcher will flag anything that changes the math before you commit.

Dispatch watches check-ins in real time. If a worker misses a shift, we send a replacement fast, and under our guarantee you won't pay for the missed time.

Yes. Temp-to-hire is built in, and the conversion fee drops the more hours the worker has already worked with you.

The Crew Pros Guarantee

If a worker no-shows, we send a replacement fast, or that hour is on us.

And if you're not happy with a worker in the first 4 hours, tell your dispatcher and you won't pay for those hours. Terms on our guarantee page.
