Our captains, servers, chefs and bartenders are consummate hospitality professionals with one goal — to make you look good to your guests. You can trust our teams to bring the TomCookery brand of professionalism to your front of house, whether you are hosting an intimate dinner party or a 250 guest gala.
About Us
Our clients are a diverse group of restaurants, catering companies and venues. As a Black owned hospitality company, we want our staff to reflect the America we live in. In 2019, Tomica Saul founded our event staffing division with the goal of becoming the most diverse and inclusive staffing company in the NYC metropolitan area. We want to provide our clients with a pool of staff that are not only amazing at what they do but also authentically represent their brand image.
