Food & Beverage
Food and beverage build-outs run on tight, inspection-driven windows — a restaurant has a lease clock, a brewery can't ferment until the glycol's piped, a walk-in has to hold temp before the health inspector walks. On SKILLS, trade businesses post a Crew Needed or Crew Available posting for commercial kitchen, refrigeration, exhaust hood, or food-processing work, trade structured Coverage Offers, and lock an accountable Work Agreement.

Food & Beverage on SKILLS
What kind of food and beverage crews can I find on SKILLS?
Trade businesses post for the specialties that actually fill these jobs: commercial kitchen build-outs, brewery and distillery equipment, cold storage and walk-in construction, food-processing fit-outs, beverage and tap systems, and exhaust hood and ventilation work. You post a Crew Needed posting, and qualified crews nearby respond with structured Coverage Offers naming rate, scope, and schedule.
How does SKILLS handle health-code licensing and insurance for kitchen work?
Each business keeps its COIs, licenses, and certifications in the Compliance Vault, which tracks expiration so nothing lapses before a job. Verification tiers run Basic to Trusted to Verified Pro, so when you're staffing a grease-trap, hood-suppression, or refrigeration crew, you can confirm coverage and credentials up front instead of chasing paperwork at the gate.
How do I keep pricing fair when a restaurant opening is racing the clock?
SKILLS uses anti-lowball guardrails on every Coverage Offer. Offer floors block bids below a fair minimum, rate caps prevent gouging when you're clearly in a bind, and submission limits keep your phone from filling with copy-paste offers. You negotiate inside sane bounds, so urgency never trains the market to expect bottom-dollar kitchen work.
