Meet the Founder
Romance Reed is the Founding Partner of Coffee Shop Recruiting – a concierge recruiting service in Newburgh New York.
Born in Poughkeepsie and raised in Westchester County, he has been growing and revitalizing businesses in the restaurant and hospitality industry for the past 13+ years. Most recently, he was the general manager of operations for Golden Corral and managed upwards of 160 employees and 5 managers and generated $5,2M in sales.
At the age of 19, a business owner recognized his entrepreneurial grit and offered him the opportunity to manage a restaurant. Being responsible for hiring, reducing costs, and meeting his employer’s goals was a steep learning curve. However, it laid a solid foundation for his next position as director of operations for a startup in Florida at the age of 24. Three short years later he was ready to leap and he opened his restaurant and nightclub.
In 2018, Reed took on a passion project as Campaign Manager for Newburgh Mayor Torrance Harvey and was responsible for identifying fundraising opportunities and building relationships.
His mission with Coffee Shop Recruiting is to create a unique experience where job-searchers find a place where they feel heard and are matched with employers who match their personal and professional values and employers connect with the right, game-changing candidates to meet their business objectives.
When he is not finding you the perfect job or candidate, Romance spends time at home with his wife and children.
