Exceptional Careers Opening Now for the Hospitality Industry
We are getting ready for high season in the hospitality industry. Summer is low season for South Florida’s hotel and hospitality industry. But during the months between November, December, January the industry tend to experience its best turnouts; meaning hotel rooms get booked to capacity and restaurants see more patrons dining at their tables than any other months out of the year. Although some hotels and restaurants may see low occupancies before and after the high summer season, that doesn’t mean tourists stop visiting South Florida nor does it mean people completely stop dining out after summer. Matter-of-fact, you might be surprised to find out that the upcoming holiday season is as prosperous for the hotel and hospitality businesses as it is for the retail industry. People buy gifts for their friends and love ones and often, those gifts include gift cards to hotels and restaurants. So as retail destinations such as Wal-Mart, Best Buy and Amazon get ready for Black Friday and the humongous rush of customers that come with it so are hotels and restaurants. “Hotels tend to offer great package deal around the holiday season and restaurants tend to update their menus to match the theme of the holidays,” says RMG Staffing President Ricardo Michelangeli. “Hotels and restaurants are starting to add more employees to their staff in order to support the holiday rush.

Moving to Miami from Out-of-State
There are many reasons why people choose to relocate from one state to the other. Sunny skies, great beaches, diverse culture, sumptuous cuisines, employment opportunities, and being closer to loved ones are reasons out-of-towners have made Miami their new home. Other reasons why people from out of state move to Florida include: no state income tax is a major perk, lower housing costs than many parts of the country, world-class beaches and outdoor entertainment, year-round warm weather, discounts to acclaimed local attractions. But no matter what the reasoning behind your move, we all end up running into the same logistical challenges. For those of you who are in the predicament of moving to Miami from another state, here are a few answers to some questions that will surely help alleviate the headaches that usually come with the move. Moving options A lot of people who relocate to our city from another state tend to do the moving without professional help or movers. Though this choice is the cheapest, sometimes doing all the packing and moving yourself can surely put a hurting on the body, mind, and soul. Here are some other options you can choose. Bekins Van Lines Full-service moves include everything — packing, loading, driving, and unloading — so it’s common for it to be the most expensive. Though Bekins Van Lines is known for full-service moving, they also offer an option where customers can do their own packing to save money. They’ll perform in-home estimates for more accurate quotes or can give ballpark estimates online. PODS PODS is typically thought of as a middle-of-the-road option. A portable storage container is delivered to you, you load belongings inside, and they deliver it to the new location. U-Haul Truck rental is the most do-it-yourself option for a move to a new state. You pack, pick up the equipment, load the truck, drive it, unload it and return it. U-Pack U-Pack operates similarly to PODS in that you do the packing and loading and don’t have to drive. However, thanks to an efficient transportation network, U-Pack offers a broad coverage area and rates often comparable to truck rental. Here are some steps you should take once you make your move: Sign up for a Florida driver’s license or identification card. Update car insurance to reflect your new address and register your car. After the relocation process, you might need to file taxes in two different states if you have earned income in both places throughout the year. Recently, U-Haul announced that Florida was amongst the top five states their customers are relocating to. Panama City, Kissimmee, Brandon, St. Cloud, Melbourne, Davenport, Boca Raton, Bradenton, Fort Lauderdale, and Miami are the popular Florida cities the moving company counted. These people are also coming from all parts of the US, including South America and Europe but no matter where you are coming, once you get settled in, you will definitely be happy you made the move to our wonderful city.

PAMM “Art of the Party” by Valentino
If there’s one thing Miami does well, it’s galas… and on April 1st, the Magic City threw the see-and-be-seen gala of the year. Hosted by the Pérez Art Museum Miami (PAMM), this event, Art of the Party presented by Valentino, is the museum’s largest fundraiser. For more information about RMG Staffing or to hire us for your next event in Miami, contact us! It makes sense when you find out why—not only did the event pay homage to contemporary artist Lorna Simpson (a woman whose work has been vitally important to the evolution of PAMM for the last twenty years), but it featured an exclusive Chef’s Table seated dinner, a Supper Club Lounge and the “Remix” after-party (all three of which were conceptualized by Miami favorite Lee Brian Schrager); attracted 1,000 of the art world’s most exemplary philanthropists and connoisseurs; and included culinary collaborations by two of the greats, STARR Catering Group and Chef Michael Schwartz. If that weren’t enough, the second-floor exhibits turned into a chic interactive art studio with live music by DJ Phaxas, a virtual reality painting activation, and portrait artists. When the after-party kicked off, so did the sweets: tables piled high with local treats from Azucar Ice Cream Company, Fireman Derek’s Bake Shop, Madruga Bakery, MdoughW, and Michael’s Genuine® Food & Drink. And with all that, everyone was in attendance: from Usher, Princess Firyal of Jordan, and Miami Heat player Justise Winslow, to singer Justine Skye, Ana Navarro, and the Mayor of Miami-Dade County, Carlos A. Giménez. It was by far the most successful installment of this annual event, with the most guests recorded in attendance, and raised $1.1M for PAMM’s robust education program, which just happens to be the largest outside the Miami-Dade County school system. As proud partners of Starr Catering Group, we here at RMG Staffing take pride in helping facilitate A-list South Florida events like these. With nearly a decade of experience staffing Miami’s most sought-after parties, PAMM’s Art of the Party presented by Valentino gave us yet another opportunity to do what we do best: make it run smoothly. From setting up and breaking down the venue, serving guests and working the bar, to serving food, playing host or hostess, directing guests to their appropriate table, and above all, making sure VIPs and celebrities feel comfortable and welcoming, we were there on hand to provide anything the organizers (or the guests!) needed. And like always at RMG… we were happy to help. This event took place on Saturday, April 1st, at 6:30 p.m. Pérez Art Museum Miami (PAMM) is located at 1103 Biscayne Boulevard, right on Biscayne Bay.
