TSmith Logistics
About
TSmith Logistics is a recruitment agency for the restaurant and catering industry. We help restaurants, bars, cafés and caterers find seasonal staff for the months when the regular team isn't enough. Our people work in your kitchen or on your floor, but they stay on our payroll, so you skip the contracts and admin. We take time to understand how your service runs, then look for people who fit it. You get extra hands for the season and a partner who keeps in touch throughout.
Our story
Busy seasons arrive faster than hiring can keep up. The terrace opens, bookings climb, a run of weddings lands on the calendar, and suddenly you are short of hands in the kitchen and on the floor. Putting seasonal people on your own payroll means contracts and admin for work that ends in a few months. We exist to close that gap. We place seasonal staff with restaurants and caterers, and those people stay off your payroll.
Our work starts with a conversation. We ask about your service style, your menu, your team and the shifts you need covered. Then we match people to those roles, in the kitchen and front of house, with your way of working in mind. We keep in touch with you and with the people we place, so small issues get sorted before they reach a busy Saturday.
You can expect a clear talk about what you need and honest answers about what we can fill. You get people who know what your venue expects, and one familiar contact for the whole season. Tell us about the months ahead, and we will work out together how we can help.
What we stand for
- 01
Your season, understood
We learn how your kitchen and dining room run before we suggest anyone. That way the people we send fit your pace, your menu and your team.
- 02
Payroll stays simple
Seasonal staff we place are not on your payroll. You get the extra hands you need without taking on the contracts and admin for a few busy months.
- 03
People treated well
We look after the people we place and stay in contact throughout the season. Staff who feel supported show up ready to work for you.
- 04
Honest about fit
If a role is hard to fill or a match is not right, we tell you plainly. You can plan your service around real information.
Who we help
Independent restaurants
Owners who need extra cooks or floor staff for busy months. They want reliable people who settle into a small team quickly, without adding them to payroll.
Event and party caterers
Caterers whose workload rises with wedding and event season. They need a flexible pool of staff for kitchens and service, booked around a changing calendar.
Seasonal venues
Terraces, summer kitchens and holiday-period dining rooms that open or expand for part of the year. Their main need is a full team ready for the first busy weekend.
