Hospital Housekeeping Systems (HHS) is a private, family-owned business with a longstanding history since 1975, dedicated to providing exceptional service to its team members and clients. Originally founded as Hospital Housekeeping Systems, HHS has expanded its services to include housekeeping, food service, and facility management across nearly 1,000 customers in six different industries. The company prides itself on its commitment to quality-driven customer service and fostering a supportive work environment.

With a strong commitment to internal growth, HHS believes it has many future leaders waiting for their next opportunity within the organization. The company places a high emphasis on Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI), maintaining a workplace where all individuals feel heard, respected, and encouraged to develop their careers.

The Food Service Manager role at HHS is a leadership position centered on managing the food service department to deliver excellent service and high-quality food offerings. This role requires strong collaboration with dietitians, chefs, and other leaders within the facility and across the company to meet operational goals aligned with customer needs and market trends.

Implementing team-building initiatives to maintain a positive workplace and enforcing compliance with health, safety, and regulatory guidelines are essential duties.

This position is ideal for a proactive leader with excellent interpersonal skills, capable of making sound decisions and managing competing priorities in a fast-paced environment. Candidates should demonstrate strong ethical principles, professionalism, and a commitment to fostering teamwork and inclusion. The Food Service Manager role offers a meaningful opportunity to influence the quality of food services in a healthcare-related environment, enhancing the lives of patients and customers alike. HHS supports career growth through ongoing training and development and encourages relocation for promotion opportunities. This role is a full-time position, offering competitive benefits including paid time off, medical, dental, vision insurance, 401(k) matching, and employee assistance programs.
