CASE STUDY

Sodexo OCLC Food Service Staffing

“I haven't needed to use another temp service. I don't want to use anybody else because it's such an easy process with the app.”
“I haven't needed to use another temp service. I don't want to use anybody else because it's such an easy process with the app.”
Patricia Williams, Chef Manager @ OCLC Sodexo
Sodexo at OCLC provides clients a full, in-house catering service with a wide variety of menus tailored to enhance corporate events. Particularly for banquets and restaurant positions, meeting staffing needs while using a traditional staffing agency was challenging.

Typical food service staffing options had a lack of expertise in the workforce for food servers, banquet servers and service staff - resulting in a lower restaurant food and service quality.

By partnering to solve this problem, Sodexo and Upshift transformed their hospitality staffing. With 5-star workers and hassle-free hiring they could fill shifts faster, and ensure kitchen safety. Read the case study to find out how.

Upshift is a leading staffing agency alternative and has changed how staffing and recruiting works.

By letting our candidates pick their times and places, we retain great job seekers that other companies miss. Our Upshifters choose who to work for and when they are available, so they're motivated. 

Unlike a traditional catering recruitment agency, our experts have 0% tolerance for no-call no-shows. This keeps your customer satisfaction high across banquets and restaurants.

Yes! Depending on skill level required and resources, you can hire Upshift employees with proven previous restaurant and food and beverage experience, or you can train people. 

For example, one of our partners relies on a core group of returning Upshifters for regular, full-time or part-time food and beverage jobs, while also consistently training new temporary staff for roles that require less specialization. 

This flexibility ensures that you can always find the right balance of skilled and trainable staff when recruiting for your business.
Clear dress code requirements are included in every shift description.

We understand the importance of a proper dress code, especially for front-of-house roles. Qualified candidates are well-informed that adherence to these standards is crucial, and they are aware that they will be sent home if they do not meet the specified dress code.

This approach helps maintain the guest satisfaction even in high season and maintains image standards in the food industry.
