What administrative staffing takes off your plate

Rotas Built against covers, not last week's guess
Par level ordering Placed before the delivery window closes
Nightly reconciliation Done before the next service starts
Shift no shows Covered by a plan, not by the manager
Floor manager time Running the floor, not working a section
Transparent pricing

Two ways to hire. Transparent pricing.

Every food and beverage role prices the same way. Both models carry the same bar: vetted candidates in 10 calendar days and 5-Stage Vetting. The guarantee differs by model: 60-day replacement on US Direct Hire, 100% performance replacement on Global Fully Managed.

When to hire

When the manager is working a section

Most teams wait too long. These are the points where the seat pays for itself immediately.

Manager works a section Every gap gets absorbed by whoever is standing there.
Rotas built on guesswork The schedule reflects last week, not this week's covers.
Deliveries land late Ordering happens after the window has already closed.
Last night unreconciled Service starts before yesterday's takings are checked.
Do any of these sound familiar?
  • Your manager works a section every shift.
  • The rota is built on last week's guess.
  • A no-show cook becomes the manager's problem.
  • Deliveries arrive after the window closed.
  • Last night's sales are still unreconciled.
  • Nobody runs the floor because everyone is on it.

Model fit

Where your food and beverage staff work best

Hire in the US when
  • The floor and the kitchen need bodies
  • Licensing and food safety sit with staff
  • Shift supervision happens in the building
Hire globally when
  • Par level ordering runs on a portal
  • Supplier follow up is phone and email
  • Nightly sales reconciliation is system work

Both models carry the same vetting bar and the same guarantee. Pricing for each is above.

Role / responsibility Global US direct hire Why
Floor and kitchen supervision US direct hire Physically onsite by definition
Banquet delivery US direct hire Happens in the room, US hire
Bar management US direct hire Licensed and onsite
Par level ordering Global Portal work, staffs globally
Supplier follow up Global Phone and email, no site needed
Nightly sales reconciliation Global System work, done before service
Menu costing Global Spreadsheet work, staffs globally
Event staffing rotas Global Planning work, runs from anywhere

One partner, onshore and global

A US office manager working alongside two fully managed global assistants is a Tuesday, not an exception. You pick the model per desk and we run both under one partner.

FAQ

Administrative Support staffing, answered

What does a food and beverage operations desk own?

It owns the service clock rather than the business day: the rota built against covers and event bookings, ordering against par levels, and the reconciliation of last night's sales before the next service starts. It is judged on whether the manager spent the shift running the floor or working a section.

Who hires food and beverage staff through HireHawk?

Hotel groups, restaurant operators and venues with banquet business. The common thread is a manager absorbing every gap personally, from a no-show cook to a late delivery. Both hiring models carry a guarantee: 100% performance replacement on Global Fully Managed, 60-day replacement on US Direct Hire.

Can any of this desk be staffed remotely?

Less than most desks we staff. A restaurant or banquet floor needs people standing on it, so supervisors, kitchen leadership and bar management are US direct hires on your payroll. What can staff globally is the paperwork behind service: par level ordering, supplier follow up and nightly sales reconciliation.

How quickly can we fill a supervisor seat?

Shortlist in 10 calendar days from the discovery call, onboarding in 21 days. Onsite hospitality seats depend on your local market, so we will be direct on the call about depth in your city rather than promise a list we cannot deliver.

How do you vet food and beverage candidates?

5-Stage Vetting with AI-assisted screening, plus a service scenario rather than a generic test: a cook calls in sick two hours before a banquet of one hundred and twenty. Fewer than 1% of applicants are presented. How someone answers that predicts a shift far better than a resume does.

What does a supervisor seat cost?

Onsite hospitality seats are US Direct Hire, at $995 plus 12.5% of first-year salary, or 15% with nothing upfront. That is against the 20-30% most agencies charge. The ordering and reconciliation side, if you move it global, starts from $12/hr all-inclusive on a month to month basis.

Can you staff hourly floor roles as well?

No. We place supervisory and coordination seats, not hourly floor headcount. If your problem is servers or line cooks, a local hourly agency will serve you better. Where we help is the layer above: the supervisor who builds the rota and holds the standard so the manager stops covering shifts.

What happens if a placement does not work out?

On US Direct Hire, which is how these onsite seats are placed, you have a 60-day replacement guarantee and we restart the search at no additional fee. In hospitality we would rather be told in week two than week ten, because a weak supervisor compounds every service.
