Example projects
The kind of work we take on.
Pylyp Sukhenko Example
Summer kitchen team for a busy restaurant
A restaurant expected its summer covers to double and lacked cooks and porters. We found line cooks, a prep cook and kitchen porters, all employed through us for the season.
Viktor SOLOMONIK Example
Terrace service staff for peak months
A restaurant opened its outdoor terrace for summer and needed more people on the floor. We placed servers and food runners who matched its relaxed but quick service style.
Charanjeet Dhiman Example
Full crew for a wedding catering
A caterer booked a large outdoor wedding and needed a complete team for one day. We put together servers, kitchen assistants, bar staff and a setup crew for the event.
Louis Hansel Example
Seasonal staffing plan for a café
A café owner wanted to avoid last-minute hiring before the busy season. We reviewed past gaps together, wrote a role and shift plan, and started recruiting early.
About
TSmith Logistics is a recruitment agency for the restaurant and catering industry. We help restaurants, bars, cafés and caterers find seasonal staff for the months when the regular team isn't enough. Our people work in your kitchen or on your floor, but they stay on our payroll, so you skip the contracts and admin. We take time to understand how your service runs, then look for people who fit it. You get extra hands for the season and a partner who keeps in touch throughout.
Why us
Staff stay off your payroll
Seasonal workers are employed through us. You get the help you need without setting up contracts, payslips or end-of-season paperwork.
Focused on restaurants and catering
Kitchens, dining rooms, bars and events are the only places we staff. We know the difference between a prep cook and a line cook.
We learn how you work
Before suggesting anyone, we ask about your menu, your service style and your busiest shifts. That way the people we send fit your team.
Clear agreements in writing
Roles, shifts and arrangements are confirmed in writing before anyone starts, so you and your new staff know what to expect.
Who we help
Independent restaurants
Owners who need extra cooks or floor staff for busy months. They want reliable people who settle into a small team quickly, without adding them to payroll.
Event and party caterers
Caterers whose workload rises with wedding and event season. They need a flexible pool of staff for kitchens and service, booked around a changing calendar.
Seasonal venues
Terraces, summer kitchens and holiday-period dining rooms that open or expand for part of the year. Their main need is a full team ready for the first busy weekend.

Questions
Which roles can you staff?
We find seasonal staff for kitchens, dining rooms, bars and catered events. That includes chefs, line and prep cooks, kitchen porters, servers, hosts, runners, bartenders, bar backs, and event setup crews. If you need a role not listed here, ask and we'll tell you honestly whether we can help.
What does it mean that staff aren't on my payroll?
The people we place work in your business and follow your directions, but they are employed through us. That means you don't need to set up employment contracts or run payroll for them. We confirm the full arrangement with you in writing before anyone starts.
How do I get started?
Call or email us with the roles you need and the dates of your busy period. We'll talk through your operation, ask a few questions about your service, and confirm the next steps with you. There's no need to have every detail worked out first.
What should I prepare before contacting you?
It helps to know the roles you're short on, the dates or months involved, the shifts you need covered, and anything specific about your kitchen or service. Details on dress code, experience level and your menu help us find people who fit your team.
Can you help with a single event?
Yes. Caterers and venues often need a crew for one wedding, function or festival day. Send us the event details, guest numbers and the roles you need, and we'll put together a crew and confirm who is coming with you beforehand.
