Frequently Asked Questions

TUMI staffs every department hotels rely on. For housekeeping, we provide housekeepers, room attendants, laundry attendants, public area cleaners, and housekeeping supervisors. For food and beverage, we provide servers, bartenders, baristas, bussers, food runners, line cooks, prep cooks, dishwashers, and stewards. We also staff banquet and event roles including banquet servers, setup crew, buffet attendants, and event captains. Front desk, night audit, and concierge positions are available as well

For ongoing staffing needs, the typical timeline is two to three weeks, which includes screening and property-specific preparation. For urgent situations, TUMI can often draw from existing local staff pools to provide same-day or next-day coverage. Emergency support is generally accessible on short notice in active markets like Louisville.

Every TUMI employee is a W-2 worker with full benefits including health insurance, dental insurance, life insurance, and paid time off. They also receive a structured raise schedule, with their first raise at 91 days and an additional raise at one year. This employment model helps attract and retain higher-quality candidates compared to contractor-based staffing approaches.

Your assigned area manager visits your Louisville property every week. During those visits, they meet with your management team, check on staff performance, handle any concerns directly, and address issues before they become problems. They serve as your main point of contact for both staff and operational questions. This weekly, in-person presence is a core part of how TUMI maintains quality and builds long-term relationships with hotel partners.

Hotels partnering with TUMI typically save 12-18% on hard employment costs annually. These savings come from eliminating expenses you would otherwise carry in-house: payroll taxes, workers compensation, health and dental insurance, recruiting costs, and turnover-related expenses. The invoice TUMI sends is all you pay, with no hidden charges or add-on fees.

Yes. Louisville’s hotel demand spikes during Kentucky Derby, bourbon tourism season, and major convention events. TUMI’s staffing model is built for this kind of flexibility.
