Hospitality & Event Staffing

The hospitality industry runs on people and when your roster falls short on a sold-out night, there's no rescheduling the event. Omnitrade supplies trained hospitality and event staff to hotels, banquet halls, convention centers, catering companies, restaurants, festivals, and private venues across Surrey, Vancouver, Burnaby, Richmond, and the rest of Metro Vancouver.

Every server, bartender, and kitchen worker we deploy holds the required BC certifications — Serving It Right, FoodSafe, and site-specific training — so they're ready to work from their first shift.
