Our History
When the company was established in St. Louis, there
was no competition in this field. Therefore, it was
thought that the restaurant and hospitality industry
would welcome such a service, just as other industries
had learned to use and depend on experienced
temporaries to supplement their staffing needs.
However, that assumption proved to be incorrect.
Because such a service was so new to the industry,
potential clients did not recognize the advantages and
money-saving opportunities in using a temporary
agency. Food Temps, Inc. had to embark on a major
client-education program to demonstrate how temps
could and should be used. At the time, the company had
neither an established reputation nor references in
the national restaurant industry. As a result,
national clients were reluctant to give the new
company a chance to prove its ability in this area.
After three long years the business started to grow.
Both segments, temporary and management-placement
services, began to gain industry acceptance. The first
branch office was opened in Kansas City, and after a
similar slow start, it also prospered.
It
became evident that the two segments of the company
had different client bases within the industry. Food
Temps' temporaries primarily serviced hotels and
contract food operations; conversely, the
management-placement side of the business chiefly
serviced national restaurant chains. In order to
better serve all clients, the company was divided into
two separate entities. Food Team, Inc. was the
successor company for temporary labor sales, and
Resources In Food, Inc. was formed to serve the
management-placement business. Staffing food service
temporaries is a key factor in our business. Food
temporaries are our specialty! Finding food
temporaries is what we do!
Our
reputation for providing fast, dependable service at a
fair price has allowed us to establish national
agreements with many national contract feeder
companies and restaurant chains and to expand into new
markets with greater ease. Today both companies have
operations in many states with more openings planned
each year. food temporaries food
