ExtraHourz was founded by two experienced franchise owners in the hospitality industry, who recognized their own various needs for staffing including immediate, short-term, and long-term employment for their own businesses. After exhausting their own employee pool, they recognized that there may be additional Job Seekers looking for extra hours nearby. In addition, there were numerous Job Seekers who had no way of finding extra job opportunities close to their location. Thus, the ExtraHourz organization was formed; committed to connecting available Job Seekers and Job Providers with various staffing needs.
