Quick answer
Supp fits venues that want a shift marketplace, temp coverage and an optional roster ecosystem. HospoMatch fits venues that want to make a direct hire through a structured shortlist and keep improving a reusable candidate pipeline.
What Supp is built to do
Supp’s public site leads with finding or filling a shift and says its marketplace supports both temporary and permanent hospitality jobs. Its connected roster product covers rosters and timesheets. HospoMatch’s centre of gravity is the vacancy-to-shortlist-to-hire process.
Product status
Both products serve the Australian hospitality market.
Where Supp is strong
- A hospitality marketplace for last-minute temp shifts and permanent jobs.
- Workers can choose flexible work and venues can trial people through shifts.
- Worker and venue ratings after work is completed.
- A connected roster product with timesheets and integrations.
How HospoMatch is different
HospoMatch is designed around an ongoing hospitality role and the quality of the hiring decision. It aims to reduce candidate chasing and repeated admin while helping the venue see whether the person can do the job and whether the practical arrangement makes sense.
- Role-level matching beyond a shift date, including requirements, availability, location, work rights and job preferences.
- A structured hiring pipeline rather than a shift-by-shift booking flow.
- A venue-owned candidate pool plus eligible HospoMatch network candidates.
- Plan-dependent outreach, AI interviews and trial-shift scheduling without claiming to be the employer.
The intended outcome is a team member who has a realistic chance to settle into the roster, learn the venue and contribute over time. That is an objective, not a retention guarantee: management, pay, safety, hours, onboarding and the worker’s circumstances still matter.

Which should your venue choose?
Choose Supp when…
Use Supp when your operating problem is an uncovered shift, variable weekly demand or roster coordination and you want workers who actively choose individual shifts.
Choose HospoMatch when…
Use HospoMatch when you are hiring into the team and want the shortlist to reflect the real roster, commute, qualifications and employment arrangement before time is spent interviewing.
Pricing and total cost
Supp’s current public pages describe the product but do not present a simple universal venue price on the pages reviewed. HospoMatch publishes Free and weekly subscription tiers. Request or verify Supp’s current manager pricing directly rather than relying on an old third-party figure.
A fair calculation includes the platform charge, wages and statutory costs where relevant, manager time, screening, onboarding and what happens if the role must be advertised again. Temporary staffing and direct recruitment solve different problems, so their headline prices are not interchangeable.
What HospoMatch cannot do
HospoMatch does not replace a roster, time-clock or payroll product and is not designed to guarantee an immediate temp. Supp spans temp and permanent listings, so the difference is emphasis and workflow rather than a claim that Supp cannot support permanent work.
Bottom line
Supp fits venues that want a shift marketplace, temp coverage and an optional roster ecosystem. HospoMatch fits venues that want to make a direct hire through a structured shortlist and keep improving a reusable candidate pipeline.
Run a small trial with a real vacancy and judge shortlist relevance, candidate response, manager time and total cost. Applicant volume by itself is not a hiring outcome.
Frequently asked questions
Does Supp offer permanent jobs?
Yes. Supp publicly states that its marketplace includes both temporary and permanent hospitality work.
Is HospoMatch a rostering app?
No. HospoMatch organises recruitment and hiring. It does not create weekly staff rosters, interpret awards or process timesheets.
Which platform is better for reducing repeated hiring?
No platform can guarantee lower turnover. HospoMatch is deliberately designed to help a venue select for practical role and roster fit and retain a reusable talent pool, which supports that objective.
