Regional food and beverage operator for corporate breakrooms, vending, and dining
Five Star Breaktime Solutions operates a multi-service food and beverage business across nine southeastern states, with 1,001–5,000 employees managing vending, office coffee, micro markets, catering, and dining services. Current hiring is heavily weighted toward operations and logistics roles (206 of 294 open positions), while project work focuses on new market expansion and retail space design—indicating aggressive geographic growth. Core pain points cluster around inventory management and spoilage reduction, suggesting the company is scaling operational complexity faster than its current systems handle it.
Notable leadership hires: Director of Refreshment Services, Sales Director, Director of Customer Success
