Sarah and the entire 4Rivers team was so amazing to work with!! From coordinating our tasting(and last minute getting us a dessert sampler) to the day of execution, everything was absolutely perfect. The food was so amazing we barely had any leftovers when the night was over. The mac and cheese bar was worth every penny!! Our guests were OBSESSED and are still talking about it after the fact. Sarah answered every email/phone call so fast and was incredibly helpful. If you want a stress free planning process for catering and bar service 4Rivers is it!!

I don't know how things will be for the next person, but I must be honest. This was one of my least favorite jobs I ever had. Things were great and organized in the beginning when business was steady, but I bore witness to some things I've never seen before anywhere else in my time here. Expect to work way longer than the hours you're scheduled. I was typically scheduled 8 hrs. 6am - 2pm. That's what the schedule would say. But management is very good at making you feel as if you shouldn't leave until everything is done, long after they've all went home. I've worked 12 hour, 16 hour, and 18 hour shifts in my time here, and on all of those instances I didn't find out how long the day would be until halfway through my shift. They promise you free lunches daily here. There are days where that free lunch will be a taco bar, there are days where it will be a burger, there are also days where it will be food that was prepped 2 weeks ago and didn't sell. There are also days where it will be a peanut butter sandwich. These are all things that I have witnessed. If you request time off, your request will probably be approved. But you will have to explain your commitment to 4R in a meeting with management when you return. Criticism isn't very welcome here either. They have a "if you don't like it, you can leave attitude" about the structure of this place. Whether your issue is the long shifts, the lack of materials you're provided with to execute the job effectively, or the passive aggressiveness from management when goals are not met, there isn't really much room for an employee to bring up their concerns without their employment being threatened. You can also expect to get pulled away from your main position to assist the GM with his duties at a moment's notice. In my experience if you fall short when assisting him or if you're too busy he will get very upset with you. A lot of meetings as well. In my time there, there have been meetings about where to eat and when, meetings about how long bathroom breaks should be, and meetings about being prepared to stay longer than you're scheduled. Rules change like the wind here and it can happen overnight and you have to be prepared for that. This particular location was under a lot of pressure from health inspectors at a point in time, and this was a very punitive time to be an employee. The rules also changed daily depending on if they thought the health inspector for Disney was coming out or not. This company has a great reputation locally and will go above and beyond to protect it. I have unfortunately heard management compare staff to both children and washed up football players who are no longer need by their team. I could continue sharing details about my experience working here but unfortunately I don't have enough time. Don't just take my word for it though. Your experience may be different from mine and you may have to just see for yourself.

A hot mess. VERY poorly managed. Only cares about looking good.

I worked for 4 Rivers Catering, and as someone who’s experienced what it’s like from the inside, I only have positive things to say. Leadership is helpful, humble, friendly, and very respectful and conscientious. Everyone works together, and the teamwork aspect is the very best part. The kitchen team works very hard, and the quality is always really good. I have so many quality memories and am in awe of how pleasant it was every time working alongside everyone!! Thank you :o)

4Rivers and Robin were amazing to work with and we were so glad they catered our wedding! The food was delicious, their staff was very courteous, and everything went pretty seamlessly. We had them cater the reception meal, desserts, and the bar, as well as bring the dishes. From the start of the planning process to the end Robin was so great to work with and very responsive. We highly recommend them if you are looking to have a good high quality BBQ for your wedding!
Customer service for planning and the day of the wedding was amazing. We had all our food, drinks and wedding cake done with them and everyone enjoyed the selections. They flexibly worked with our decorator (One Step Beyond Events) for a cutom table spread buffet and it came out wonderful. They worked with our budget and answered all our questions and were so patient with our changes throughout the process. They packed up all our food at the end of the night and we had wonderful leftovers. I'm so happy working with them made my day stress free and delicious!

Don't work here through GigPro.Pay was not delayed.However, the supervisor, Alex, stole the tips from me and my team while we were working an event for the UCF Football watch party.Alex said we'd get the tips we had earned, $17.00 total, when we got back to their HQ; it never happened.GigPro workers,Work for a different catering company because to steal tips from your team, is sickening.

I have ordered from 4 Rivers on Door dash twice because they are so good. The turkey isn't dry, it's perfect! The sides are delicious and the dessert is a bonus. If you haven't tried them, you need to!

We had 4 River Catering for our wedding a week ago. Sarah was incredible to work with and made the process so easy! The food was delicious and all the guests raved how good it was! We were thankful there were leftovers we could enjoy after as well! Highly recommend 4 Rivers for your event!

4 Rivers recently catered my son's wedding at the Orlando Science Center. Every team member went above and beyond to ensure that the bride and groom's night went according to plan. The food was timely and delicious, and the drinks were on point! Huge cheers to Shay and Niko behind the bar- they were both knowledgeable and professional. If I could give ten stars, I would.Cheers!!
