ATLANTA, February 25, 2019 – Hospitality Staffing Solutions, LLC (HSS), the nation’s leading provider of contingent labor and outsourced services to the Hotel & Resort industry, announced today the acquisition of FoodStaff, a specialty provider of food and beverage personnel.  FoodStaff will operate as a wholly owned subsidiary of HSS and its brand name will remain intact.

Founded in 1988 by CEO Bailey Bolen, FoodStaff provides temporary and full-time personnel to key sectors within the hospitality industry, specializing in serving the food and beverage staffing needs of its clients with a strong presence in the Educational, Corporate Dining and Banquet/Event Staffing sectors.  FoodStaff is headquartered in Charleston, SC and operates seven offices in the Southeast and Mid-Atlantic regions of the United States.

Tim McPherson, CEO of HSS, said, “FoodStaff is a perfect fit for our growing organization. Over the past 30 years, Bailey has created a trusted partner to the hospitality industry, providing quality personnel to many of the industry’s leading companies.  The addition of FoodStaff will further the strategic growth of our company as we offer new and existing clients trained staff in the food and beverage sector. This acquisition is another significant investment to strengthen HSS as a key partner to its customers and we are actively targeting additional add-on investments that will further extend our ability to deliver a breadth of talented staff.”

“I was searching for a partner who shares the same philosophies towards excellence in service, training, and professionalism.  I have found that partner in HSS and we are excited to help accelerate HSS’s strategic growth with additional service offerings to its core hotel and resort clientele, as well as helping them move deeper into new niche sectors on a national level, including colleges, schools, universities, hospitals, senior living facilities and corporate dining,” said Mr. Bolen.
