With travel’s swift rebound, many casinos, hotels and resorts have been unable to staff their departments at the rate needed to provide a high quality, consistent service to their guests. Property leadership is turning rooms or rooms are left empty. Sound familiar?
If you’re looking at solutions that will enable you to focus on your core business and revenue growth, you may be considering a fully managed or supplemental staffing solution. With benefits to each, here are some key considerations to keep in mind when deciding which solution is right for your property.
Turn-Key Benefits
Complete responsibility for your department (recruiting, training, performance) is transferred to your vendor partner
Opportunity to concentrate on your core business (occupancy, room rates, guest satisfaction scores, group bookings, etc.)
Ability to lean on your partner’s expertise to implement best practices and innovations
Supplemental Staffing Benefits
Ideal for properties looking to retain control of its departments, including recruiting, training and performance tracking
You and your team maintain oversight of specific standards, operating procedures
Ideal for properties and/or departments looking to fill positions on a short-term basis
For many properties, supplemental staffing may seem like the ideal choice, but in our experience, selecting a turn-key option yields better and more consistent results. Your departments are better staffed and typically have a higher employee retention rate, resulting in a higher guest service scores, lower costs, and a more engaged team.
The Service Companies has over 30 years of experience providing both turn-key and supplementary staffing solutions to the hospitality industry, serving some of the most recognizable and largest casino, hotel and resort properties in the country.

The effects of the current labor shortage and the impact of the pandemic on the hospitality industry continues to present major challenges for hotel and casino operators. Many hotel owners and managers are considering new and innovative options such as outsourcing their back of the house cleaning departments. If you are considering a potential move to pivot and benefit from leveraging an integrated services provider, here are some key considerations and potential benefits to outsourcing.
Time savings that you can now devote to your core business
Heart of the house hospitality management can eliminate the existing hotel management’s role in recruiting, background employee checks, drug screening, and training expenses, all saving executives time, which can then be focused on sales, marketing and customer service.
More training and advancement opportunities for employees
Leading companies offer participation in everything from medical, dental and vision benefits, to short term disability insurance, IRAs, credit unions and discount programs with select suppliers. Beyond this, The Service Companies offers benefits like on-demand pay for Dayforce Wallet.
Plus, there can be opportunities for advancement in this fast-growing field as well as training.
Specialized knowledge and quality management and assurance programs that result in strong quality of work
The Service Companies is comprised of team members with over 30 years of experience in their particular specialty – housekeeping, public area cleaning, stewarding, supplemental staffing, window cleaning, and more. This higher degree of specialized knowledge in specific services brings automatic benefits to your department.
Some companies, like The Service Companies, guarantee certain high levels of quality. We accomplish this in large part due to our quality management and assurance programs.
Our Quality Management Program includes:
Complete documentation of the scope of work and service requirements
Quality plan including service quality measurements and metrics
Service Delivery Plan
Inventory Management
Human Resource Management
Health, Safety and Environmental Stewardship
Management Commitment
Our Quality Assurance program is built on the premise of thoroughly inspecting our work each day. Most daily inspections are field documented using a smart device and follow the agreed upon scope of work. Once completed, each inspection is time and geo stamped and forwarded to our senior leadership team. Inspections include:
Guest room inspections
VIP arrival inspections
Guest house attendant inspections
Back of house inspections
Kitchen inspections
Public area inspections
Outsourcing to a provider that commits to these can lead to a superior guest experience.
Potential cost savings
Outsourcing can result in cost savings. This depends on the responsibilities and costs assumed by your partner. One thing to keep in mind is that there will be soft costs, like turnover-related expenses, in addition to hard costs that may make outsourcing the right option for you.
In a managed or turn-key model, The Service Companies assumes these costs, to name a few:
Salaries and wages for department
Payroll taxes
Benefits
Overtime
Annual turnover costs
Cleaning supplies, excluding laundry chemicals
Housekeeping equipment repair and replacement
General liability and workers’ compensation insurance
Recruiting & training
Employee incentives, engagement and retention initiatives
Information technology, including mobile smart devices and tablets
When considering outsourcing, the greatest benefits are savings in time and money. For employees, it offers the opportunity for more job training and advancement possibilities. Plus, it can eliminate concerns and worries about the ever increasing government and workplace regulation. And finally, it can mean quality assurance.

Ingredients
Pumpkin Spice Cake Layers
2 3/4 cups (360 grams) all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon (15 grams) baking powder
1 teaspoon (5 grams) baking soda
2 teaspoons (6 grams) cinnamon
1 teaspoons (2 grams) nutmeg
1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
2 cups (400 grams) granulated sugar
1/2 teaspoon (3 grams) salt
1 1/2 sticks (12 tablespoons) (170 grams) unsalted butter – do not soften in the microwave – I cut mine into 1/2 inch slices and place onto waxed paper on the countertop. Leave it out only 5 to 6 minutes; you do not want it to be too soft. If it does get too soft refrigerate for a few minutes.
4 large eggs
1/4 cup (54 grams) vegetable oil
1 can (15 ounces/425 grams) canned pumpkin (not pumpkin pie filling)
1 1/2 packages (339 grams) cream cheese (no need to soften to room temperature)
2 teaspoons (4 grams) cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon (1 grams) nutmeg
1 teaspoon ground ginger (2 grams) If clumpy, sift
6 – 6 1/2 cups confectioners’ sugar, sifted (or more to reach desired spreading consistency)
2 teaspoons (8 grams) vanilla extract
Directions
Pumpkin Spice Cake Layers
This recipes uses the reverse creaming method.
Preheat oven to 350°. Grease & flour three 8-inch pans.
In your mixing bowl add the dry ingredients (flour and the next seven ingredients). With the mixer on low speed, mix the dry ingredients for 30 seconds so the ingredients are well-blended. Add the pieces of butter a few slices at a time. Mix until the dry ingredients are moistened by the butter and look like coarse sand. If you pinch some of the mixture between your fingers it will stick together. Scrape the sides and bottom of the bowl.
In another bowl combine eggs, oil, pumpkin, milk, and vanilla. Whisk until well blended. Set aside.
Method is important in this recipe, so with the mixer on low speed, slowly add approximately 1/2 of the egg mixture. Increase to medium speed for 1 1/2 minutes. Scrape bottom and sides of the bowl. Add the remaining egg mixture in 2 pours, beating 20 seconds after each addition.
Bake at 350° for 30-35 minutes, let cool in pans 10 minutes, then turn out.
Spiced Cream Cheese Frosting
Using your mixer, beat the butter and cream cheese until well blended. Add the vanilla and spices. With the mixer on low speed gradually add the confectioners’ sugar and mix until it is a good piping consistency.
