Halle Hayes

Halle launched foh&boh in November 2019 to streamline hiring in the hospitality industry and provide optimal support for restaurants and candidates. She secured financing at the height of the pandemic, despite the instability of both the industry and labor market, and in only eight months, has grown revenues for the hospitality SaaS platform from $0 to $1MM in ARR. Today, foh&boh has secured partnerships with leading brands and businesses that include Snackpass, Slice and Marriott. Hayes previously spent nearly 15 years overseeing business development for major manufacturing, medical device, and healthcare service companies. In 2016, she co-founded Versher to connect Nashville businesses with top-tier, female talent. Through her work with the staffing venture, she witnessed the persistent hiring challenges within the hospitality industry, which initiated the idea for foh&boh. Hayes is a sixth generation Nashvillian and a graduate of Southern Methodist University.
