Streamlining Staffing for the Summer Season
The summer catering season is nothing short of a whirlwind. Companies are treating their employees to outdoor gatherings, families are celebrating graduations, and of course–wedding season. Amidst all this, the most daunting challenge that many catering businesses face is ensuring that they have enough staff to cover the increasing number of events.

Catering to a Variety of Events
Graduation parties, corporate picnics, weddings, and public events all require a different set of skills and expertise from catering staff. With Bacon, catering companies can post specific job details and requirements for each event, ensuring that they attract workers who are up to the task. Whether it's serving at a grad family celebration or managing food stations at a corporate outing, businesses can find the right people for the job.
