FOH&BOH: Nashvillians raise capital to soothe global Hospitality painpoint
Summary
NASHVILLE startup FOH & BOH Inc. is tackling a global Hospitality problem that is especially visible in restaurants where operators are pushed up-against the wall by 75% annual staff turnover, finding theyve hired workers who dont cut it, or who bail-out on them. At its core, the FOH&BOH platform is a Services-talent marketplace designed to help workers find jobs that fit their needs, while freeing restauranteurs from having to play workforce Russian Roulette. Hayes noted that the ensuing onboarding and matching process reflects the founders understanding that employers are so time-constrained they cannot effectively review 50 traditional applications, much less the hundred or more they might get when searching for talent. Second, Hayes noted that todays job applicants are not "resume-centric," and the signup process must be fast, simple and accepting of each workers compensation expectations, hours of availability, commute time, parking and other considerations, and more. Brief VNC research suggested that other relevant, but differently positioned entrants include such companies as JitJatJo, The Restaurant Zone, Fountain (OnBoardIQ), and Hosco.
