Hospitality recruitment for businesses. Straightforward, personal, and done right.

Hospitality recruitment for businesses

A bad hire disrupts everything. We get it right.

Finding the right hospitality staff is time-consuming, unpredictable, and high-stakes. A bad hire in a kitchen or front-of-house can disrupt your entire operation. DISH exists to make that process straightforward, and to get it right.

We work with restaurants, hotels, contract caterers, event venues, care homes, and more. Whether you need an urgent temporary cover or you’re building a long-term team, we have the network and the expertise to deliver.

What we offer

Built around how venues actually hire

Permanent recruitment

We source, screen, and place chefs at all levels, kitchen management, front-of-house supervisors, and senior hospitality managers. Every candidate is fully referenced and right-to-work verified before we recommend them.

Temporary staffing

Cover for a shift, an event, or a busy period. A dedicated pool of 50+ vetted chefs and front-of-house professionals is available every week. Fast turnaround, reliable staff, no unnecessary admin.

DBS-compliant staffing

DBS-compliant staffing is available for all sectors, with full DBS screening and compliance checks included as standard on permanent and temporary placements.
