Celebrating Hispanic Heritage Month at GravyWork

At GravyWork, we believe that diversity is not just a buzzword; it's a core value that drives our company culture and fuels our success. As Hispanic Heritage Month unfolds, we are excited to celebrate the rich and diverse history, culture, and contributions of our coworkers from Peru, Honduras, El Salvador, Colombia, and Venezuela. In this blog post, we'll take a moment to reflect on the significance of Hispanic Heritage Month and explore the cultural tapestry that enriches our team.

Hispanic Heritage Month, observed from September 15th to October 15th, is a time to recognize and honor the contributions and influence of Hispanic and Latinx Americans on the history, culture, and achievements of the United States. It was officially established in 1988, but its roots can be traced back to 1968 when Hispanic Heritage Week was first celebrated.

Embracing Diversity at GravyWork

At GravyWork, we are proud to have a diverse team that includes coworkers from various Hispanic backgrounds! This diversity not only enriches our workplace culture but also fosters creativity, innovation, and a broader perspective. Diversity isn't just about representation; it's about creating a more inclusive and equitable environment. It fosters cross-cultural understanding, empathy, and respect, ultimately leading to a more harmonious and innovative workplace. Our diverse team brings unique perspectives, experiences, and skills to the table, which in turn, benefits our clients and our company as a whole.

As we celebrate Hispanic Heritage Month at GravyWork, we do so with deep respect and appreciation for the cultural diversity within our team. We recognize the historical significance of this month and take pride in the contributions of our coworkers. Embracing diversity is not just a part of our culture; it's a driving force behind our success and growth. We look forward to continued collaboration and learning from one another as we celebrate the beautiful mosaic of Hispanic and Latinx heritage within our company. 

Happy Hispanic Heritage Month!

Hospitality Has Changed—Here’s What Modern Leadership Looks Like
If you’ve been in hospitality for a while, you’ve probably noticed how much the industry has evolved. The old-school, “my way or the highway” leadership style? It just doesn’t work anymore. At this year’s SHFM Conference, the theme was “Find Your Flavor.” It captured a powerful shift happening across the industry: today’s best leaders are moving away from rigid, top-down management and embracing human-centered leadership—the kind that values authenticity, individuality, and empowerment.
How to Stay Energized During Long Hospitality Shifts
We’ve all been there: you’re halfway through a double shift, and the energy crash hits. In hospitality, long hours come with the territory—but burning out doesn’t have to. At GravyWork, we care about keeping our workers energized, so here are a few real-world tips that actually work.
5 Simple Ways to Inspire Temporary Staff to Deliver Amazing Guest Experiences
Let’s be honest—events and hospitality operations don’t happen without on-demand and outsourced staff. They’re the extra hands that make magic happen behind the scenes. But too often in the industry, temporary or outsourced workers are treated as just “bodies.” You’ll even hear people say, “We just need 10 bodies for tonight.” At GravyWork, we know that mindset misses the point—because when people feel valued, they perform better.
The New VIP Experience: Training On-Demand Staff for High-End Service
On-demand workers are qualified professionals, and they often have extensive experience. However,they still need to be trained in the way that you do things, and if you offer ahigh-end, luxury service, such training is imperative.
Weather-Proof Your Events: Staffing Strategies for Outdoor Venues
There’s no such thing as bad weather, only poor preparation. It’s often considered to be one of the only factors that you can’t control when staging an outdoor event, but while it’s true that you can’t shoo those rainclouds away, you can implement some strategies to mitigate the risks.
Menu Engineering Meets Staffing: Aligning Your Workforce with Food Service Demands
Throwing a big event and want to make a splash? The food and drinks you serve are obviously a big part of it, but the people making that food and serving those drinks can be just as important.
