Food service is one of our specialties, so when you partner with Patrice & Associates, you get the benefit of our decades of expertise. You also get our network of expert recruiters who will find a GREAT team member for you fast. Whether your need is for operations and food service managers on-site or corporate management, including sales, VP, and executive placement in district, regional, and corporate offices, Patrice has been serving food service brands, including grocery stores, convenience stores, stadiums, airport concourses, along with hospitals, assisted living facilities, and more. Plus, the biggest suppliers in food service are clients too. Truly, no matter the department, we’ve staffed it. That goes for operations, customer service, culinary, learning, HR, procurement, marketing, finance, IT, and sales. Those are just a few. The key is finding people with the right blend of skills, experience, attitude, and work ethic that fit your company and culture.
Looking for a food service hiring match is no longer a shot in the dark.
When you put Patrice on your staffing project, you’ve tapped into a hiring process that delivers quality candidates quickly. Yes, we know that in the food service business, time is of the essence! Of course, you can tell us about the position and your vision for the perfect candidate. But many of our client companies are happy to get our guidance. That’s part of our service to you. Let us help you write your job descriptions, weigh in on hiring strategy and provide insights into the labor market. That’s what we mean by partner!
Are you a regional, national, or international brand? You’ve found the perfect staffing and recruiting fit.
Forget the hassle of multiple recruiters in multiple cities. You don’t have time for that. When you partner with us, you make one call to your local recruiting office, where your very own Patrice Pro will find those ideal candidates—no matter how many you need or for how many locations—across the US and Canada. Isn’t it a relief to know that multiple recruiters and territory restrictions are not part of the process? One call, that’s all it takes!
Our pipeline of top performers is ready and waiting.
Over 700,000 exceptional candidates, many in food service, are on our radar, and one of them might just be the person you’re looking for. In addition, our recruiters constantly call competitors to find the perfect match who will be a fit with your brand. Until that happens, we don’t rest! Your job order is filled through relationships, not by posting it online and hoping for the best. Let us do the legwork to find, screen, and present the top talent you deserve!
Michael P. says working with Ryan Shanklin was an amazing experience!I wanted to thank Patrice and Associates and particularly Ryan Shanklin for giving me
absolute professional assistance in getting hired at my new job as a manager for Applebee’s. I
will give you the long story of the difference P&A and Ryan made and feel free to edit it down
However, you would like for your marketing materials. I was living in Fredericksburg, VA., taking
care of my elderly parents and had applied online and driven to the Applebee’s in
Fredericksburg for an unscheduled interview. As it turned out, the GM was there and was willing
to speak with me. At the conclusion of the interview, the GM decided not to hire me because I
had recently completed courses in cybersecurity and he felt that as soon as a cyber firm
contacted me I would leave for that position. After applying for a different location with
Applebee’s I was contacted by Ryan. I explained the situation and my recent experience. He
and I worked together and through his resume coaching, I was able to get a sit-down interview
with the Area Manager for the Alexandria location. The AM and I hit it off and I was hired.
Ironically, the Applebee’s location that I have been training at for the last 7 weeks is under the
area manager that is also the AM for the Fredericksburg location that I had interviewed with and
was not hired. Ryan has maintained contact with me to see how things are going and have been
a friendly voice through the training process. Years ago, I worked in telecommunications and
went through many years of being headhunted by some recruiters. During that period of time, I
never experienced the professionalism and friendly interaction that I have had with Ryan and
Patrice and Associates. It has been an amazing experience and frankly, at a time when it was
truly needed. Thank you for all you have done and I would definitely recommend qualified
individuals partner with Patrice and Associates to reach their employment goals.
Thank You,
Michael P.
