Why Do Employers and Job Applicants Alike Prefer Using a Staffing Agency?
Read MoreA big congratulations to James Park, our November Employee of the Month!
Read MoreThe hospitality industry is struggling, and the struggle is real. But it is NOT dead, and that means we are still hiring! We have open positioons throughout the Southern Califnornia region for restaurant staff, hotel staff, healthcare kitchen crew, food production and assmebly line workers, and more!
Read MoreFall is definitely in the air here in SoCal (or what we know as fall, anyway) and as the weather changes, so do our activities. It’s time to put away the bathing suits and flip flops and head into sweater weather - and into some big fall fun. And don’t listen to the naysayers! Yes, we are still struggling with the lockdowns and the Covid-19 restrictions, but there is still plenty to do and see here in Los Angeles, Orange, and San Bernardino counties!
Read MoreThe heatwave is slowly leaving Southern California, and in its place are cool mornings and evenings and those perfect 75 degree afternoons. Many of us are getting our jackets, thicker socks, and blankets out of the closet, and Halloween decorations have filled front yards and porches. But best of all? Soup season has officially arrived and this year we are going on a little taste adventure!
Read MoreIn addition to the many restaurants, entertainment venues, food packaging and manufacturing companies we staff, we are also fortunate to serve our wonderful healthcare sector. Providing our state’s top hospitals with the very best people for their kitchens and dining halls is something we take great pride and joy in doing, and here are just a few reasons why.
Read MoreThere is barbecue, there is Texas barbecue, and then there’s Wise Barbecue - the Texas style barbecue that has gifted us with a real Texas treat. And once you taste it, you’ll understand why so many Angelenos love it so much.

Read MoreOctober is National Seafood Month, and we’re celebrating with salmon sashimi, plates of fresh oysters, fish tacos and the yearly treat you can’t miss: whole fried soft shell crab!
Read MoreAs we all know, the Covid-19 crisis has hit the hospitality industry especially hard. In March of this year when the lockdowns began, millions of jobs were lost - nearly 6 million in total by April. In our state of California, continued lockdown measures and restrictions mandated by the state have forced many restaurants to furlough staff, close their indoor dining rooms, and some have had to shutter permanently. Of course, this comes as no surprise. It has been challenging for restaurant owners to meet compliance while operating at greatly reduced capacity. Some found grants or ways to pivot their business, while others were not as fortunate.
Read MoreAshley Heisler has been part of our team since December of 2019. She started off as a bartender, and a kickass bartender at that! But since bartending jobs are often seasonal, we suggested that she take the server test, which she passed with flying colors.

You can enjoy some absolutely amazing 100% authentic Creole cooking right here in SoCal. Look no further than Long Beach for the best gumbo, jambalaya, and soul food originals at the one and only Sal’s Gumbo Shack, right on Long Beach Boulevard.
Read MoreRemember when we could all freely go out and have fun in public places with abandon? It seems like a world far, far away from our current reality, and we sure do miss it. Fortunately, City National Grove of Anaheim is bringing some of those fun times back, even if it isn’t quite like what we knew before. Social distancing and mask mandates are still in place in California, but that doesn’t mean everyone has to stay home!
Read MoreAfter recently being highlighted on local news channels during Black Restaurant Week, our client, The V Tree (Hollywood location) deserves another mention. They are currently taking part in Dine LA Restaurant Week, which continues through September 18th.
