Catering Manager careers
A Catering Manager oversees the planning, preparation, and delivery of food services for events, functions, or daily operations in catering establishments. You might work in event venues, catering companies, or large organisations. Catering Managers focus on menu planning, budgeting, staff management, and ensuring food safety standards. You’ll coordinate with clients to meet their needs and manage logistics to ensure successful events and high-quality service.
Catering Managers play a vital role in creating memorable dining experiences. You’ll need to be organised, have strong leadership skills, and be able to handle high-pressure situations. You’ll liaise with clients, suppliers, and your team to ensure seamless operations and exceptional service, contributing to the overall success of catering events.
