Standout Staffing

What Standout Staffing does

Standout Staffing (legal entity Standout Hospitality Staffing, LLC) is a privately held hospitality staffing agency headquartered in Westminster, Colorado. Founded in 2024 by hospitality-industry veterans, the company provides temporary staffing services for hotels, convention centers, stadiums and event centers, airports, colleges and universities, hospitals and healthcare facilities, and restaurants across the United States. Service modules cover housekeeping, banquet, janitorial, and culinary roles, organized around the proprietary "Standout STARS Model" framework — Technology, Recruitment, Training, and Custom Solutions — which the firm uses as its operational methodology for client delivery. Patricia Astley is Owner and Eloy Yanez is President; the company is WBENC certified as a 100% woman-owned business.

The firm operates a direct, sales-led B2B motion with dedicated account managers as single points of contact, quote-based pricing, and revenue generated through hourly billing for deployed workers. Distribution is direct to enterprise hospitality properties (no resellers), and the company holds approved-vendor status in Marriott's Corporate Flex Staffing program, where it was named the 2026 Flex Vendor Knowledge Challenge March Madness Grand Champion against a field of 30+ vendors. Its claimed technology stack includes AI-driven recruitment matching, predictive scheduling analytics that incorporate occupancy forecasts and event calendars, automated timekeeping, and mobile-first workforce tools; however, the 1–10 employee headcount and lack of disclosed ML hires or proprietary models suggest these capabilities are predominantly built on third-party SaaS rather than in-house AI development.

Recognition has accumulated rapidly for the firm given its age: the 2025 SAHLA Allied Member of the Year (Pineapple Award), the 2026 Hospitality Staffing and Recruiting Services Company of the Year from Hospitality Business Review, and the WBENC certification in 2025. Ownership appears concentrated with the founders; no venture capital, private equity, or institutional capital is disclosed in source materials. Customer logos span Springhill Suites, Hyatt Regency, Cambria Hotel, and Le Meridien, with three of four being Marriott-affiliated properties, indicating meaningful Marriott-ecosystem concentration in its early book of business.
