Hospitality Staffing Solutions LLC announced it acquired FoodStaff, a provider of food and beverage personnel based in Charleston, SC.

FoodStaff operates seven offices in the Southeast and Mid-Atlantic regions. Its clients include Compass Group, Sodexo USA, Sage Dining and Marriott International. FoodStaff was founded in 1988 by CEO Bailey Bolen, who will remain with the combined companies during a transition period this year.

Plans also call for the FoodStaff brand to remain; it will operate as a subsidiary of HSS. All FoodStaff internal and temporary employees will be retained.

“FoodStaff is a perfect fit for our growing organization,” said Tim McPherson, CEO of HSS. “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.”

HSS is based in Atlanta and operates in 34 states and Puerto Rico.
