GigSmart connects Minneapolis restaurants, hotels, and catering operations with qualified food service workers — from dishwashers and kitchen prep to servers and banquet crews — available same day.
Minneapolis's food service staffing market runs on three distinct demand engines: the Minnesota State Fair, one of the largest in the US at 12 days and hundreds of food vendors, creates one of the biggest annual kitchen staff surges in the Upper Midwest each August and Labor Day. Year-round, Twin Cities Fortune 500 headquarters — Target, Best Buy, General Mills, and 3M — generate a steady corporate catering calendar that peaks hard in Q4. Add U.S. Bank Stadium's NFL and major event schedule and the Minneapolis Convention Center's 480,000 sq ft of active trade show and conference space, and the metro's kitchen staff demand stays elevated well beyond any single season.
