Hospitality Recruitment Through an Operator’s Lens
After two decades running pubs, restaurants, and high-volume venues, we’ve learned exactly what the wrong hire can cost — and what the right hire can do for a team.
At Taste Hospitality, we recruit like operators, not career recruiters. We look past CVs to the culture, the pace, and the people your venue needs to perform at its best.
Our goal is simple: stronger hires, stronger teams, stronger venues.
our mission
The right hire can lift a venue overnight — but the wrong one does the opposite.
We’ve seen the impact of rushed placements, thin vetting, and recruiters chasing commission. Those mistakes fracture teams, hurt morale, and damage culture.
Taste Hospitality was built to do things differently.
We recruit with the care, pressure-awareness, and standards of someone who’s actually run a service. We take the time to understand your culture, your leadership style, and what “fit” really means for your venue.
For candidates, it’s more than being “placed.”
It’s about landing somewhere they can grow, stay, and thrive long term — not just survive the roster.
When fit, culture, and care come first, retention follows.
And retention is what builds happy teams, consistent service, and venues guests return to.
Our Values
A quick fix might cover a shift. The right hire shapes a whole team. We match attitude, leadership style, capability, and cultural alignment — the traits that drive retention.
Your team is more than a schedule. We look for people who grow with your culture, elevate standards, and strengthen your venue long term.

We’re not driven by sales targets. We’re driven by outcomes. When the right person joins a venue, guests notice the lift — and so does your bottom line.
We’re not career recruiters.
We’ve lived the roster pressure, the Friday-night chaos, and the responsibility of leading teams.That experience shapes how we recruit:Experience — years running pubs, restaurants, and premium venues give us real operational understanding.Insight — we know which personalities lift a team, support leadership, and stay the course.Care — every referral reflects on your culture and ours. We only put forward people who genuinely fit.
With an operator’s eye, we recruit like every hire influences the whole venue — because it does
