Serving NYC and Surrounding Areas

Catering Staff

Breathe. You’ve found a partner you can always depend on.

Worthwhile builds trust with you at every event by consistently sending proactive catering staff with keen hospitality instincts. With our help, you can provide the same flawless service to every guest, every time.

More than just an extra set of hands.

Have you ever felt like an event was understaffed, even though your staff quantities seemed solid on paper? Chances are, you were paying a few Elsewheres.

An Elsewhere is a person who never seems to be present when things need to get done. Your Captains constantly have to chase them down and remind them to stay on task. And when it’s time to pay attention to important instructions, their mind is—you guessed it—elsewhere.

We understand what you need most on event day: a team of focused professionals who make your Captain’s job easier rather than create more work for them. So we make sure every last person on our roster fits that mold. After all, you should never have to pay for an Elsewhere.

Actors in roles where their skills shine.

Catered events are never simple. You need staff with poise, charisma, empathy, and athleticism. People who take direction well, and who know how to improvise when things get hectic.

Actors have spent a large chunk of their lives perfecting these skills—and Worthwhile helps you bring them right to your event in a perfect uniform.

Servers
High-octane personalities with warm smiles and the memorization skills to learn your entire menu in no time flat.

Bartenders
Charismatic performers with a big stage presence, and the endless creativity necessary to whip up mouthwatering new cocktails.

Captains
Leading players who study the event’s “script” feverishly and come prepared to direct the cast with ease.

Bussers
Energetic ensemble members with a sense of urgency and the athleticism to stay moving for the entire run of show.

Waiters
Friendly and fast-moving stars with empathy and active listening skills that will make your guests feel comfortable and cared for.

Station Attendants
Memorable characters with presence, poise, personality, and the ability to memorize your menu to the letter.

Barbacks and Food Runners
Dedicated supporting cast members who hustle—and make their exits and their entrances at the perfect times.

Sanitation Assistants
The backstage crew that’s hyper organized and works tirelessly to keep the show running smoothly.

No mystery. Just total confidence on event day.

The Worthwhile booking team performs accuracy checks on your booking details at regular intervals. Wake up relaxed on event day, knowing with certainty that your staffing partner will get the right number of people to the right place at the right time.

Babysitting isn’t part of your job description.

You and your team have so much to do on event day. Micromanaging expensive Elsewheres shouldn’t be one of them. It’s time to pick up the phone, call Worthwhile, and experience the reliability you’ve been missing.

The Worthwhile Staffing team provides top tier services and staff members who have an exceptional work ethic. We worked with a team of 10 superstars, led by Paola who is an incredible leader! Their team works extremely efficiently and with initiative, and our event went more smoothly than we could have hoped for. This was our first time working with Worthwhile – it will not be our last! Shoutout to Kyle and Cameron for building a smart team who produces exceptional results. Thank you!!!

I just wanted to take a moment to share my experience with Worthwhile Events and their staff. They arrived on time, huddled and got right to work. Without my asking, they prepped the bar as well as facilitated guests arrivals, bussing, garbage management and even the smaller details of placing flowers in water upon arrival. The party was a huge success, in large part to their contribution. You have assembled a wonderful team of smart, reliable and kind people. We are so grateful and will absolutely reco your team to friends and family for future events – as well as our own.

Worthwhile is a truly apropos name for this company. From the beginning, Kyle and Cameron were responsive, helpful, and flexible with my asks and schedule. On the day of the event, the staff was punctual, and was so friendly, helpful, and attentive to me and the 200+ guests in attendance. I highly, highly recommend Worthwhile for anyone looking for service for their event.

Worthwhile’s fabulous team made our event such a success. Every one of the staff were incredibly professional, kind, helpful, and responsive. And I also truly appreciated Worthwhile’s help in figuring out how to have enough staff while keeping our costs in line.

Kyle and Cameron are so fast to respond! With less than a week to hire a bar captain for a private reception with more than 30 people attending, the Worthwhile team made the process very simple, efficient, and easy. Both bar captains we’ve worked with were professionally dressed, very competent, polite, and showed a genuine helpful spirit when it came to making sure the food/drink service was a success. We highly recommend Worthwhile Events. Thank you!

I just worked with Worthwhile Event Services to staff a last minute event for one of my clients. The entire team they sent was incredibly professional, kind, hard-working and positive. With minimal direction, our event captain was able to take responsibility into her own hands and assess where assistance was needed. I would absolutely work with this team again in the future!
