The Benefits of Using a Staffing Agency


When you consider the fast pace and ever changing nature of the hospitality industry, utilizing the services of SBM makes a lot of sense. With SBM as your one-call staffing resource, you can mitigate risk with flexible options, while reducing costs, allowing you to focus on growing your business.

Try Before You Offer

Temporary professionals give employers a chance to tryout an employee before making a permanent offer of employment allowing you to make sure they are a good fit.


Flexible Staffing

Book staff when you need for as long as you need. You can use a staffing agency to increase personnel during peak periods, such as major holidays. You can also cut back on staff during slow periods when sales decrease.

Save Time and Money



Using a staffing agency can save you time and money. We take care of vetting, recruiting, payroll, taxes, and insurance. Plus, each temporary professional is covered under workers compensation. 


Terms and Conditions

We like to be completely transparent about our terms and conditions. Below are some of the terms that you’ll be agreeing to when you hire our staff.

5 Hour Minimum

5 Hour Minimum

Each booking must be a minimum of 5 hours in order for us to reserve your professionals for events/gigs. Our chefs also understand that each booking is set with an approximate end time, and that they may need to stay longer than expected upon request. If a client chooses to cancel a shift in the 24hours prior to the shifts commencement, a minimum 5-hour service charge per chef will be charged to the client.

Cancellations

Cancellations

If for any reason you need to cancel an event/gig, we kindly ask that you contact us 48 hours notice for us to contact all scheduled staff to advise them of the cancellation. Please note that the deposit will not be refunded if the cancellation notice is sent within 14 days prior to the event.

Deposit

Deposit

For new clients and private parties, we require a 50% deposit no later than 14 days prior to the event to secure your staffing needs. This deposit; is not refundable, will be paid out to scheduled staff if the event/gig is cancelled, and can be used as credit for rescheduling.

Travel Expenses

Travel Expenses

If you require our staff to travel outside of TTC boundaries for an event/gig, a travel expense will be charged at the professionals hourly wage for the time it takes to travel to and from the venue to compensate for their time, mileage & gas.

Rescheduling

Rescheduling

We do understand that unforeseen circumstances may occur, therefore, we will credit your deposit if the event is rescheduled within 48 hours prior to the initial event date.

Last Minute Booking

Last Minute Booking

Due to the fact that our staff are independent contractors and have very busy schedules, it can be difficult to request them with less than 48 hours notice. In order to guarantee staff for your request, we have implemented an additional “last minute booking fee” of $5/hr.
