Food Temps, Inc., known today as All Team Staffing, Inc. was founded in St. Louis, in 1989 as a staffing agency and a management placement firm for the food service and hospitality industries. Because such a service was new to the industry, potential clients did not recognize the advantages and money-saving opportunities in using a staffing agency. Food Temps, Inc. had to embark on a major client-education program to demonstrate how staffing and management placement should be used. At the time, the company had neither an established reputation nor references in the food service or hospitality industries. 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 in both segments. Temporary staffing and management-placement services began to gain industry acceptance. 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. The first branch office was opened Nationwide, and after a similarly slow start, it also prospered.
It became evident that the two segments of the company had different client bases within the industry. Food Temps’ temporary staffing 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 staffing business and Resources In Food, Inc. (RIF) was formed to serve the management-placement business.
Through the mid to late 90’s and up until 2004 Food Team and RIF grew from one office to a nationwide organization of 24 offices coast to coast One aspect of our growth was through franchising with roughly half of the locations being owned by franchisees. Although Food Team and RIF operated as separate entities, they were true sister companies and operated out of the same office space in each of the markets. All Team Staffing, Inc. was formed originally in 2003 as a general labor staffing arm to assist Food Team’s clients that prefer Food Team’s customer service standards but had needs outside of the food service and hospitality industries.
In January 2005 Food Team and RIF merged into one company with Food Team being the surviving company and RIF becoming a division of Food Team. From 2005 through 2008 Food Team continued to expand the footprint across the country opening new offices through franchising and corporate-owned stores.
In 2009, as Food Team’s business within the healthcare industry had grown outside of the food service department, it became clear there were opportunities in the healthcare support divisions. Because of this need, Med Team Support Staffing was conceived in late 2009. Med Team Support Staffing was born to be a specialized staffing agency dedicated to the healthcare support divisions and services the Environmental Services, Food Service Department, Patient Transporting, Facility Management, Health Information Management and Office/Clerical needs.
To support these divisions properly, in January 2010 Food Team merged with All Team Staffing, Inc and All Team Staffing as a parent company was born with 4 divisions – Food Team, Med Team Support Staffing, All Team Labor Staffing and Resources In Food.
