David Marco Company LLC

What David Marco Company LLC does

DMC Staff (operating as David Marco Company LLC) is a US hospitality staffing company founded in 2018 by David Cohen and Marco Simard. The company supplies temporary event personnel — including bartenders, bar backs, servers, captains, butlers, brand ambassadors, housemen, and kitchen assistants — to caterers, event planners, corporate clients, festivals, and entertainment productions. Its core product is a manual labor-matching service, augmented by the proprietary DMC Certification training program that standardizes fine dining best practices and a self-serve web-based Staffing Order System that lets clients request crews via a contact form.

The company operates two legal entities: DMC Staff Inc., a California S-Corporation headquartered at 1800 N Vine Street, Los Angeles, and DMC Staff NV LLC, a Nevada regional subsidiary opened in 2024 to serve Las Vegas. Headcount has scaled from approximately 50 subcontractors at inception to over 390 W2 employees by 2024, with stated ambitions of national coverage by 2027. Go-to-market is direct and relationship-driven: clients place orders through the website, by phone (424-599-5971), email ([email protected]), or WhatsApp, and pricing is quote-based rather than tier-based or self-serve transactional. Named customers include AMPAS, Paramount Pictures, the United States Olympic Committee, Intuit, LACMA, Dick Clark Productions, HOK, Patina Catering, Savore, and The Huntington, with brand visibility boosted by a 2024 appearance on HBO Max's "The Event" series. The company is privately held by its co-founders with no disclosed external funding, M&A activity, or public-market listing.

• Thriver: Hospitality staffing platform focused on events and venues, offering temporary and on-demand servers, bartenders, and culinary staff. Comparable to DMC Staff in workforce composition and event-driven demand.
• Seasoned: Hospitality-focused staffing marketplace connecting restaurants, caterers, and event operators with vetted food service professionals. Overlaps directly with DMC Staff's F&B and event staffing roles.
