Diisco Brings Smarter Hospitality Staffing to The National Restaurant, Pub & Bar Show 2026
Leeds-based hospitality gig platform Diisco will showcase a faster, more flexible way for restaurants, pubs, bars and hospitality businesses to fill temporary and last-minute shifts at ExCeL London this September.
London, UK – August 2026: Diisco, the hospitality gig platform designed to make temporary staffing faster and simpler, will be exhibiting at The National Restaurant, Pub & Bar Show 2026, taking place at ExCeL London on 16–17 September 2026.
As hospitality businesses continue to face the challenge of filling temporary, last-minute and flexible shifts, Diisco is bringing a technology-led alternative to traditional staffing methods to this year’s show.
Built specifically for hospitality, Diisco connects venues directly with hospitality workers looking for flexible shifts. Venues can post a shift in minutes, receive applications, review worker experience and ratings, and select the right person for the shift — all through the platform.
Unlike traditional staffing agencies, Diisco is designed around direct connections between venues and workers, helping hospitality businesses reduce staffing friction while maintaining greater control over their workforce.
“Hospitality businesses don’t always need another recruitment process — they need someone reliable who can work the shift,” says Hassan Shahid CEO/Founder Diisco. “Diisco was built to make that process quicker and more transparent, connecting venues with hospitality workers when they actually need them.”
The platform currently lives in Leeds and Manchester, where it is connecting hospitality venues with workers across bars, restaurants, cafés, hotels, events and other hospitality environments, with plans to expand into additional UK cities. Our Next city is London.
For venues, Diisco provides tools to:
● Post hospitality shifts in minutes
● Reach available hospitality workers
● Review worker experience and ratings
● Receive applications directly
● Select and confirm workers
● Manage shift communication
● Track attendance and work records
● Manage payments directly with workers
● Build relationships with reliable workers for future shifts
For hospitality workers, Diisco provides access to flexible opportunities, allowing them to discover shifts that fit their availability, apply directly to venues and build their professional reputation through completed work and feedback.
The platform also incorporates features designed to improve trust between venues and workers, including verified profiles, ratings, location-based check-in and time-stamped work records.
The National Restaurant, Pub & Bar Show is a particularly relevant platform for Diisco, bringing together hospitality operators, buyers, suppliers and industry leaders. The 2026 event is part of The London Food & Drink Festival, which brings together four major trade events at ExCeL London and is expected to connect thousands of food and drink professionals with more than 600 exhibitors.
Diisco will be using the event to demonstrate how its platform can help hospitality businesses respond to one of the industry’s most immediate operational challenges: getting the right people in the right place at the right time.
Visitors attending NRPBS 2026 can meet the Diisco team at the show to discover how the platform can help simplify flexible hospitality staffing.
