GigSmart connects Tampa restaurants, hotels, and catering operations with qualified food service workers — from dishwashers and kitchen prep to servers and banquet crews — available same day.
Tampa Bay's catering market runs on a combination of signature events, stadium demand, and Gulf Coast resort bookings that keeps the calendar active across every season. Gasparilla Pirate Festival in January touches the entire city, driving private event and restaurant catering demand as Tampa's largest annual celebration. The Tampa Convention Center and Raymond James Stadium — a Super Bowl host venue — anchor the event catering market on the waterfront. And the private event circuit at Don CeSar Hotel on St. Pete Beach and The Vinoy Renaissance Resort in downtown St. Petersburg keeps the wedding and corporate catering market active along the Gulf Coast from spring through fall.
