Elite AI Hospitality Staffing Firm – $19M Revenue
Business Description
Remarkable opportunity to acquire this established hospitality staffing agency serving California, Washington, and Nevada. They’re partners with the four largest foodservice management companies in North America, securing stable revenue in the deca-millions.
This is a one of a kind firm with their own proprietary AI software to automate operations while maintaining high-touch client service that tech-only competitors cannot replicate, making this 2,000-employee operation extremely well-positioned for growth.
Business Overview
Founded in 1999, this powerhouse staffing agency has become a leading provider of professional talent for hotels, universities, corporate dining programs, senior living facilities, major events, and national foodservice brands. The company stands apart from tech-only competitors by blending innovative software automation with a high-touch client service model that has fueled decades of success.
With headquarters in the greater Los Angeles area, the company operates across California, Washington, and Nevada, with an expansion to New York set for late 2025. Long-term vendor relationships include industry leaders such as Compass Group, Aramark, Sodexo, and Marriott, ensuring consistent, recurring demand year-round.
Key Financial Highlights
- Annual Revenue: $19.9M
- Cash Flow/SDE: $1.2M
Revenue Mix: 60% recurring from corporate dining and healthcare with weekly needs; 40% event-based from hotels, catering, and conventions. Peak demand May-June and October-December.
Operational Details
Team: 15 full-time administrative staff manage ~2,000 active field workers. CEO oversees strategy and client relationships; COO runs daily operations across Sales, Staffing, Back Office, and IT departments. Remote-capable infrastructure.
Technology: Proprietary AI software (fully owned, no licensing fees) automates end-to-end workflow. Clients order 24/7 via portal, staff manage shifts through mobile app, system handles payroll/billing integration and compliance tracking.

Reason for Sale
