Right to work checks for hospitality and events
Hospitality hires in waves: a new season, a festival, a sold-out weekend. Each person still needs a right to work check before they start, and hospitality is a frequent focus of Home Office illegal-working visits. Yezda clears bar, kitchen and venue teams with a right to work and ID check, and screens stewards and match-day staff with event staff screening.

Hospitality hires in waves, often days before an event, and is a frequent focus of Home Office illegal-working checks. A right to work and ID check gets each person cleared quickly; event staff screening covers stewards and match-day teams who don't hold an SIA licence.
