What Does a Hospitality Staffing Agency Do?
A hospitality staffing agency provides trained professionals to support restaurants, hotels, caterers, venues, private events and other hospitality businesses for their events. From junior to executive chefs, kitchenhands, wait staff, café assistants, baristas, event supervisors, bartenders, ushers and housekeepers, hospitality agencies can help fill short-term gaps or build full-service teams for special occasions or long-term assignments.
At Bravo, Auckland’s longstanding hospitality staffing agency for over 33 years, we specialise in matching clients' hospitality staffing needs with skilled, pre-vetted hospitality staff, on demand and whenever needed.
Why Use a Hospitality Staffing Agency?
1. Speed and Flexibility
If you need a chef for the night or an entire front-of-house team for a weekend wedding, a staffing agency can supply professionals quickly.
2. Reduced Hiring Pressure
Skip job ads, interviews, and screening. The agency handles the logistics, allowing you to focus on service delivery.
3. Access to Vetted Talent
Staff are professionally trained, properly onboarded, reference-checked and often have experience in multiple hospitality environments, providing the necessary experience doing hospitality events.
