Can a Single Contractor Provide Coverage For Multiple Locations?

We’re gearing up for the busy season again in the hospitality industry. If you’re anticipating a need for temporary coverage, now is the time to reach out to an agency that specializes in hospitality temp staffing. If you have any questions about how our process works, we’re always here to help. One common question we get is whether a single contractor can cover scheduling gaps in multiple locations. The short answer is yes! Here we discuss how this arrangement would work so you can determine if it’s beneficial for your properties: 

How It Works

If you’re thinking about hiring temporary contractors, Hospitality Taskforce is the place to find them. Because short-term positions are so fast-paced, we require each candidate to have a minimum of 10 years of experience in their preferred role. If you’re not sure whether you need temporary contractors, take a moment to evaluate your coverage needs. For example, if you’re looking for at least 10 hours per week at each of your locations, you can almost certainly benefit from working with us. 

We understand the challenges of filling gaps across multiple locations, and we make it easy for property managers to connect with talented contractors. When determining whether one contractor can fill in for more than one location, consider the following: 

  • Are all properties located within manageable driving distance of each other? 
  • Will the schedule be predictable (i.e.: four hours on Monday and Wednesday mornings and five hours on Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday afternoons)?
  • Is a similar skill set required to perform at each location? (i.e., system and market knowledge)

If you answered yes to these questions, then there’s a strong chance that we can pair you with a contractor who can provide coverage for more than one location. If you’re needing more than 40 hours per week across all locations, more than one contractor may be ideal. Regardless of what you’re looking for, one thing is true: you can’t afford to be understaffed at any property as we head into the busy season.
