Spill's employee assistance programme (EAP) for restaurants
Split shifts that cut your day in two. Service that runs on adrenaline, and a kitchen culture that says push through. Restaurant work is intense, and staff carry it home with them. Spill gives your team unlimited same-day therapy that fits around service, booked by SMS from the staff room, for £75 a month covering the whole team.
Same day counselling sessions
Rolling 30 day contract
Unlimited access from £75 per month
Proudly supporting restaurant staff across the UK
What restaurant work does to mental health
62% of hospitality employees feel burnout on a daily basis due to hours worked. In restaurants, that's the double shift, the fully booked Saturday and the pressure to keep smiling through service. Burnout builds quietly, then walks out the door in an apron.
Work/life imbalance
95% of workers struggle to switch off after work, feeling constantly stressed.
Long hours
62% of employees feel burnout on a daily basis due to the number of hours worked.
High staff turnover
53% of current hospitality professionals are looking to leave their current roles.
The business case for restaurants
Every chef or waiter who burns out and leaves costs you recruitment, training and covers gone wrong while the new person learns the ropes. Supported teams stay longer and hold service standards on the hardest nights.

Build resilience on the front line
Give your team practical tools to handle rush-hour pressure, difficult customers and long days on their feet.
Keep the team sharp
Staff who get support for personal and work struggles bring more energy to every shift.
Cut short-notice absence
Early support stops small struggles snowballing into last-minute call-outs and long sick leave.
All-in-one EAP for your team
Unlimited counselling sessions
Somewhere private for kitchen and floor staff to offload after a brutal service, with a fully qualified therapist rather than a helpline script. Sessions are available the same day, before opening, after close and at weekends, with no waiting lists or forms.
Self-guided wellbeing resources
A library of practical, evidence-based resources written by licensed therapists who understand the unique pressures hospitality workers face. Covering over 200 topics from burnout prevention to financial wellbeing and sleep, our online resources can be accessed at any time. They're a great first step for anyone who's not quite ready to speak to a counsellor directly.
Expert guidance and training
Practical, therapist-led training workshops designed to empower staff to spot mental health presentations within nurseries, schools and universities and know how to appropriately respond. Teachers can also check in with a Spill safeguarding clinician for advice at any time.
