Restaurant Associates is one of the biggest. They tend to hire in the beginning and toward the end of the year (before their busiest seasons). They pay $19.50 per hour with a guarantee of getting a minimum of 5 hours pay (so if you were to work a two hour shift, you'd get paid for 5 hours).
It is a very large, corporate catering company- employees are seen as interchangable.
