What Hotel Managers Are Saying About TUMI

Hotels across Texas and the Southeast count on TUMI for dependable, long-term staffing partnerships. Here is what some of them have to say.

“I am happy with the staff, their performance, the management, and just keep doing what you are doing. If you do not hear from me, that means you guys are doing well.”

Ramon, Director of Operations, Hyatt, Memphis, TN

“If I had to summarize in three words: reliable, responsive, and quality. Even just having a call like this periodically shows that you guys are invested in the people that you’re putting in our property.”

Nick, General Manager, Hyatt, Texas

 “I’ve worked with third-party staffing companies before in my previous job. My experience with TUMI here has been far better. I would give glowing reviews. I would say it’s a must. This is the way to go to make your life easier.”

Shantelle, Hotel Manager, Hyatt Place, Knoxville, TN

Common Questions About Hotel Staffing in San Antonio

All TUMI employees are classified as W-2 workers, never 1099 contractors. That distinction matters because it affects the quality and stability of the workforce. W-2 employment allows TUMI to offer health insurance, dental insurance, life insurance, and PTO, which helps attract and retain quality hospitality professionals. It also means TUMI handles all payroll taxes, workers compensation, and HR compliance on your behalf.

TUMI provides staffing across all major hotel departments. In operations and housekeeping, we place housekeepers, room attendants, laundry attendants, and housekeeping supervisors. For food and beverage, we staff servers, bartenders, bussers, food runners, line cooks, prep cooks, and dishwashers. We also provide front desk clerks, night auditors, concierge staff, banquet servers, setup crews, facility maintenance technicians, and overnight kitchen staff. If your property has a specific departmental need, contact us to confirm what we can provide.

For ongoing staffing needs, the standard timeline is two to three weeks, which includes the full screening and training process. For emergency coverage, TUMI can sometimes deploy staff same-day or next-day from existing staff pools in the area. New property onboarding, where staff need to be trained to your specific property’s standards, typically takes two to three weeks minimum. Learn more about common hotel staffing challenges and how to address them.

A dedicated area manager visits your property every week, not monthly or quarterly. Those visits support proactive quality assurance, not just problem-solving. TUMI also conducts weekly customer relation management surveys to gather feedback and identify issues early. Every new hire completes a week-long training period at your property before working independently, with the final hiring decision made by your hotel manager.

That depends on your management company. Some require approval before a hotel can bring in external staffing partners, while others leave that decision to the individual property. TUMI has established relationships with major hotel management companies and can work directly with your VP of Operations if needed.
