Hospitality recruitment

Finding reliable hospitality staff shouldn’t mean scrambling every time someone calls in sick or a big function lands on your desk. Aroha Consulting brings the same personal, no-nonsense approach that’s built trust across Auckland’s ECE sector to hospitality, connecting cafes, restaurants, bars, hotels, and event venues with staff who actually show up ready to work.

Whether you need one barista covering a Saturday shift or a full permanent kitchen team, we handle the vetting, the scheduling, and the admin so you can get back to running your business. NZ-owned, personally run, and built on the same trust we’ve earned since 2017.

For Your Cafe and Restaurant Recruitment Needs

Someone's called in sick an hour before opening. It happens. Our day-to-day relief cover means you're not left short-staffed on your busiest shift. We match you with vetted, experienced hospitality workers who can step in at short notice and get straight to work, no hand-holding required.

Booking hospitality cover works the same way our ECE centres already know and trust. Aroha Connect puts your staffing in the palm of your hand, real-time booking, instant notifications when a shift is confirmed, and all your compliance documentation kept in one place. No more group texts at 6am hoping someone's free. Post a shift, get matched, done, and it's completely free for venues to use.

Chefs & Kitchen Staff

From head chefs to kitchen hands, we place skilled kitchen staff who know how to keep a busy service running smoothly. Whether you need someone for a single shift or a permanent spot on your line, we match people who can handle the heat, literally and figuratively.

Daycare & Aged care Cooks

Cooking for a daycare and aged care takes a different kind of care, think dietary requirements, texture-modified meals, and consistency residents/kids can rely on. We place experienced cooks and chefs who understand the standards care kitchens need to meet, every single day.

Senior Waiter at Events

For events where the details matter, we supply senior waitstaff who bring polish and experience, not just a spare pair of hands. From formal dinners to private functions, they know how to read a room and keep service seamless.

Cafe & Barista Staff

Cafes and restaurants live and die by their front-of-house team. We place baristas, waitstaff, and restaurant crew who know their way around a busy shift, from the morning coffee rush to a full Friday night service.

Corporate Hospitality Staff

Corporate functions need staff who present well and work smart. We place hospitality staff experienced in corporate settings, from boardroom lunches to large-scale conferences, so your event reflects well on your business.

Bar Staff

A great bar needs staff who can keep pace and keep customers happy. We supply experienced bar staff who know their way around a busy bar, from cocktail nights to steady weekday shifts.
