Roles We Staff

Plated Dinner Servers
Plated dinner servers are responsible for delivering multi-course meals directly to guests in formal dining settings. They provide attentive table service, follow seating charts, coordinate with the kitchen for proper timing, and ensure guest satisfaction throughout the meal.
Buffet Banquet Servers
Buffet banquet servers support events where guests serve themselves from buffet stations. These staff manage food replenishment, maintain cleanliness, assist guests when needed, and ensure proper flow and organization during large-scale functions or receptions.
Bartenders
Bartenders prepare and serve alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverages in bars, lounges, and event venues. They are trained in mixology, customer service, and responsible alcohol service, contributing to a safe and enjoyable guest experience.
Front Desk
Front desk agents are the first point of contact for guests at hotels, resorts, or event venues. They handle check-ins and check-outs, process payments, answer phone calls, and provide information about services, policies, and local attractions.
Guest Services
Guest services staff focus on enhancing the guest experience by addressing requests, resolving issues, and providing personalized support. They often assist with luggage, transportation, concierge services, or general questions throughout a guest’s stay
Food Runners, Room Service, Bussers
These support staff ensure smooth dining operations. Food runners deliver orders from the kitchen to the table, room service attendants bring meals directly to guest rooms, and bussers clear and reset tables, maintaining a clean and organized dining environment.
Host / Hostess
Hosts and hostesses manage the guest arrival experience in restaurants or event spaces. They greet patrons, manage reservations, assign seating, and coordinate guest flow, all while setting a welcoming tone and supporting front-of-house efficiency.
Back-of-House
Housekeeping
Housekeeping staff maintain the cleanliness and presentation of guest rooms, common areas, and event spaces. Duties include making beds, cleaning bathrooms, restocking amenities, and ensuring overall sanitation to meet hospitality standards.
Dishwashers
Dishwashers play a vital back-of-house role by cleaning and sanitizing dishes, utensils, glassware, and kitchen equipment. They maintain kitchen hygiene, manage waste, and ensure a steady flow of clean items for service and food preparation.
Prep Line Cooks / Sous Chef
Prep cooks and sous chefs support culinary operations by preparing ingredients, cooking dishes, maintaining food safety standards, and assisting head chefs during service. They help ensure food quality, speed, and consistency in high-volume kitchens.
Cleaners, Maintenance and Support Staff
These team members maintain the overall functionality and cleanliness of hospitality properties. Cleaners focus on common areas and back-of-house sanitation, while maintenance and support staff handle repairs, supply restocking, and general upkeep.
Set Up / Teardown Events
Event setup and teardown crews prepare venues before and after functions. Responsibilities include arranging tables, chairs, staging, décor, and technical equipment according to event specs, then dismantling and resetting the space after the event ends.
How Our Hospitality Staffing Solutions Support Guest Satisfaction
At Equation Staffing Solutions, we recognize that exceptional hospitality hinges on the quality of every guest interaction, from the front desk to the dish room. That’s why our staffing approach is designed to deliver people who contribute to a seamless, high-quality experience at every level.
Skill-Aligned Recruitment
We go beyond resumes to evaluate real-world hospitality skills. Every candidate is assessed for key competencies like guest service, speed under pressure, attention to cleanliness, communication, and professionalism. This ensures the people we place are prepared to meet the demands of food service, housekeeping, event execution, and front-of-house roles from day one.
Cultural Fit & Brand Alignment
Hospitality is deeply personal. How your staff interact with guests reflects your brand’s promise. That’s why we prioritize placing individuals who align with your workplace culture, customer expectations, and service style. Whether you’re a luxury hotel or a high-volume event venue, we deliver talent that fits seamlessly into your team and elevates your guest experience.
Flexible Staffing Models
Your staffing needs aren’t static, and neither are we. We support everything from single-shift coverage and short-notice replacements to seasonal ramp-ups and large-scale event staffing. Our flexible model allows you to scale your workforce quickly and efficiently, without compromising on quality or guest service.
Rigorous Vetting & Training
Each candidate undergoes a comprehensive vetting process that includes reference checks, safety screenings, and industry-specific assessments. We also provide orientation on hospitality service standards and site-specific expectations when needed, so staff arrive ready to perform with confidence and professionalism.
Temporary, Contract, and Permanent Hospitality Staffing Options
Every hospitality operation has unique staffing demands. Some need extra hands for a busy wedding season, others require specialized culinary talent for an exclusive event, and many are hiring permanent staff to strengthen their guest service teams year‑round. Equation Staffing Solutions provides flexible hiring models designed for hotels, restaurants, resorts, and event venues, including:
- Temporary Hospitality Staffing: Perfect for seasonal surges, special events, staff absences, or sudden increases in guest volume.
