Occasionally need bartenders, servers and prep cooks for a small corporate catering business I run in Manhattan. Drop a line if you have experience and I can add you to a call list as events get booked through the upcoming Fall Season and the 2024 Holiday Season. Halloween, Thanksgiving and Christmas/ New Year’s Eve are always busy every year and I am usually looking for more staff. This is a good way to get some extra gig work here and there and usually make some easy extra cash. Nothing available immediately , but the colander will start to fill up in the coming weeks.
