About Patrice & Associates
Patrice & Associates is a North American recruiting franchise specializing in managerial and executive-level placements across hospitality, restaurant, hotel, and food service industries. Founded in 1989 and franchising since 2008, the brand operates a network of offices throughout the US and Canada, connecting employers with vetted candidates at the manager level and above.
The business model is placement-fee based: franchisees earn revenue when a candidate they place is successfully hired by a client employer. Most franchisees operate from home with minimal overhead, though a brick-and-mortar model is also available. Each franchise operates within a protected territory for outreach and business development while retaining the flexibility to work client accounts anywhere across the country.
While hospitality remains the brand’s core focus, Patrice & Associates has expanded into finance, insurance, retail, and health and wellness. Franchisees draw on a shared national candidate database and pre-negotiated client relationships with major restaurant and hotel groups, positioning the brand as the largest hospitality-focused executive search franchise in North America.
Franchisee Support
Training is delivered through the Patrice Training Academy, beginning with virtual sessions and continuing with in-person instruction at the company's Maryland headquarters. New franchisees complete 24.5 hours of classroom training and 26 hours of on-the-job training, then receive 30 days of one-on-one sessions with the CEO and a 60-day mentorship with a senior franchisee. Ongoing support includes a proprietary applicant tracking system, a franchisee intranet platform, and a toll-free support line. When buying a Patrice & Associates resale, confirm with the franchisor what initial training and system access transfers to incoming owners.
Brand Accolades & Awards
Patrice & Associates has earned consistent recognition from Entrepreneur magazine, ranking No. 289 on the 2023 Franchise 500, No. 68 among Top Home-Based & Mobile Franchises in 2023, and No. 67 on the Top Franchises for Diversity, Equity & Inclusion list in 2024. The brand is recognized within the US staffing sector as the largest hospitality-focused executive search franchise in North America. For resale buyers, the brand's standing with major restaurant and hotel employers supports territory-level credibility and client development activity.
Industry / Market
The US restaurant industry employs approximately 13 million people and generates nearly $800 billion in annual sales, according to the National Restaurant Association. The US hotel and resort sector represents a $240 billion industry employing more than 2 million workers, with nearly 75% of hotel operators reporting persistent staffing shortfalls. Both sectors rely on specialist recruiting firms to fill managerial vacancies, creating consistent demand for placement services. For resale buyers, the strength of an existing unit reflects the depth of its established client relationships and the quality of the active candidate pipeline in the territory.
Ideal Owner
The ideal Patrice & Associates franchisee is a relationship-focused professional comfortable with high-volume client outreach and candidate management. Industry experience in hospitality or staffing is not required; the brand reports that around 90% of franchisees enter without a prior recruiting background. The role is primarily sales-led, requiring consistent telephone prospecting to employer clients and ongoing candidate interviews as the core daily activity. Strong communication skills and an ability to build trust with both hiring managers and job seekers matter more than sector knowledge. Franchisees who enjoy networking and building local employer relationships tend to develop their territories effectively.
