Our take

Stint’s app connects students with high street & hospitality businesses needing to fill shifts at peak times. This helps businesses redesign the way they hire, whilst empowering all university students to find work to fit around their studies.

Stint works with some of the industry's biggest hospitality businesses, such as Pizza Express, Pret-A-Manger, GAILs, and more.

Compared to competitors providing flexible work, Stint offers more variety than other gig-economy work such as food delivery. In addition, the company prides itself on being a company by students for students and set itself apart by putting students’ well-being at the heart of what it does. All its student workforce are employed by Stint, accrue holiday and get paid for every shift they do - even if they are sent home early.
