Just when you thought you’d seen it all, you realize you “ain’t seen nothing yet.” Welcome to the world of Runway Waiters. It’s a universe where high fashion is served on a platter with gourmet delicacies, the catwalk saunters straight into the kitchen, and the company’s couture-clad top catering staff in New York serve up more than just canapés. Marrying the glitz of haute couture with the savory delights of haute cuisine, this luxury event staffing agency has become the epitome of upscale hospitality.
Imagine an event where your bartender might have graced the pages of Vogue, and the server passing you hors d’oeuvres may just be on the brink of their next big runway show. A departure from the norm, Runway Waiters exclusively recruits models from top-tier agencies. “A Runway Waiter at your event is not just a server or bartender. They become part of the event’s ambiance, enhancing the luxurious and glamorous vibe,” claims a company spokesperson.
Having catered to the crème de la crème of events, from New York Fashion Week to the Emmys, Sundance Movie Festival to Miami Art Basel and Coachella Festival, Runway Waiters has honed its craft in delivering an unforgettable experience. Their clients read like a “who’s who” of global brands and include Ralph Lauren, Versace, Tom Ford, YSL, Fendi, Armani, Ferrari, Lamborghini, and Bentley.
The path to this innovative synthesis of beauty and service was undeniably not without its hurdles. However, the initial reluctance of model agencies soon faded when they realized the fruitful symbiosis Runway Waiters offered. Not only did models have the opportunity to rub shoulders with influential figures at prestigious events, but they were also able to supplement their incomes with flexible working hours that accommodated their demanding modeling careers. “We aren’t detracting from their runway dreams—we’re providing a flexible stepping stone to them,” notes a Runway Waiters spokesperson.
Over time, Runway Waiters has become an invaluable learning experience for the models. They gain firsthand exposure to stellar customer service and common sense—qualities that prove indispensable regardless of their future path. “We believe in fostering growth. Our aspiration is for our staff to leave us richer, both professionally and personally, in their life experiences,” shares Runway Waiters’ spokesperson.
Gazing into the future, Runway Waiters envisions becoming the go-to company for high-end events globally. Whether it’s a promotional event requiring top catering staff in New York or a multi-million-pound private viewing in London, they aspire to be synonymous with luxury event staffing. The concept is simple yet ambitious. When one thinks of models for events, the “Runway Waiters” should be the first and only name that comes to mind.
In the vibrant blend of fashion and hospitality, Runway Waiters is truly redefining what it means to have style with substance. With an impressive repertoire of brands, a unique business model, and a passion for excellence, this high-end staffing agency effortlessly struts the line between beauty and service. Theirs is a tale of innovation, overcoming challenges, and seizing opportunities in the most fashionable way possible. After all, why merely attend a glamorous event when you can be a part of it, one chic canapé at a time?
