Posted on by Billy Giordano

Reading the recent article about StaffedUp, I couldn’t help but feel a mix of pride and nostalgia. It’s been quite the journey since we started this venture, and seeing how far we’ve come, and the impact we’ve had on the hospitality industry nationwide, is truly humbling.

When JP and I founded StaffedUp, we did so out of a genuine need we experienced firsthand. Having climbed the ranks from high school jobs to managing and owning restaurants, we understood the unique challenges of staffing in the hospitality sector. We wanted to create a tool that made the hiring process simpler and more efficient for people just like us.

The article does a great job highlighting our beginnings and the essence of our mission. But what’s even more exciting is how StaffedUp has grown beyond our initial vision. We’ve seen our platform being adopted by small, family-run establishments to large hospitality chains across the country. It’s incredible to think about the variety of businesses we’ve been able to assist, helping them navigate the complexities of staffing with ease.

Why StaffedUp?

Our focus has always been on usability and performance. We designed StaffedUp to be intuitive and adaptable, addressing the specific needs of the hospitality industry. The feedback from our users has been instrumental in refining our platform, ensuring it remains relevant and effective. We’re not just developers of this tool; we’re users too, constantly testing and tweaking to meet the ever-evolving needs of our industry.

One of the most rewarding aspects has been hearing from restaurant owners and managers about how StaffedUp has made a difference in their day-to-day operations. Knowing that we’ve helped them save time and connect with quality candidates more efficiently is what keeps us motivated.

What’s next?

Looking ahead, we’re excited about the future. We’re continuously working on new features and improvements, guided by feedback from our users. Our goal is to further solidify StaffedUp’s presence nationwide and eventually make a mark on the international stage. We envision a robust community where hospitality businesses and job seekers can seamlessly connect and thrive.

The journey hasn’t been without its challenges, but the successes and positive impacts we’ve seen make it all worthwhile. Here’s to continuing to innovate and support the hospitality industry, one successful hire at a time. Read the full article here.

  • What is the WOTC (Work Opportunity Tax Credit)?

    WOTC (Work Opportunity Tax Credit) is a federal tax credit available to business employers, both large and small. The credits are designed to offset Federal income tax liabilities. When the WOTC program is executed the right way, employers can capture enough tax credits to significantly reduce, or even eliminate, their Federal income tax liabilities. (And if your business was formed using a flow-through-entity, like a S-corp or LLC, then the credits could flow-through to the owner’s K-1).

  • How can WOTC impact my business?

    Executing the WOTC program is simple and easy with the right provider. We’ll screen your applicants to determine if they satisfy one of nine qualifying criteria. If so, our team of tax credit experts work with specific government agencies, behind the scenes, to capture the tax credits for you. Once captured, tax credits can be used to eliminate Federal income tax liabilities and thus improve cash flow for stakeholders and the business.
