This sounds sort of unrealistic but here's a shot at an idea for yourself:
- A SaaS that markets to restaurants or hourly jobs where there is an abundance of aspiring actors
- App will allow owner/manager of restaurant to schedule people's hours allowing them time for auditions
- App will allow employees to swap shifts on short notice, adjust requested time off, etc. without having to clear things with manager - they have too much other stuff to worry about with a restaurant.
- App could be linked to number of tickets/hour to help manager adjust staff level to be appropriate for customer flow
This could work for people going to college as well - although they have a more set schedule that just changes every 3-6 months.
There are probably apps out there that do this, figure out what pain points they aren't solving.
- crazypyro 12y agoThe problem is getting people to take shifts. We had this at a restaurant I worked at in high school, but the only shifts that people would pick up were shifts where the tips were good and those were generally on weekend nights. Not many audition times there. Most of the time, servers only got day time shifts picked up if they paid another server $25-$75. It was a little different for hourly workers. Generally those shifts were much easier to offload. On top of this, I doubt a restaurant manager really wants to deal with scheduling around auditions when there's really no upside. Its not like there is a labor shortage for serving jobs.
