As a small business, we value versatility, initiative, and people who go above and beyond the title.

Position Summary:
We’re hiring Catering Specialists — not just cooks. This role goes beyond the kitchen. You’ll be preparing meals, assisting with deliveries, supporting operations, and stepping in wherever needed to keep our fast-paced business running smoothly. We need dependable, high-functioning individuals who can think critically, work independently, and take pride in delivering a top-tier product and experience.

    • Follow opening, mid-shift, and closing kitchen checklists


    • Ensure all food safety and hygiene protocols are upheld, including temperature logs and storage practices


  • Delivery & Operational Support

    • Monitor inventory and report shortages, damages, or low stock


  • Team Collaboration & Initiative



    • Work closely with kitchen staff, drivers, and leadership to meet daily deadlines


    • Provide feedback to improve processes, kitchen flow, and service execution


    • Adapt quickly to unexpected challenges or changes in workflow


    • Be ready to “fill in the gap” wherever needed — whether that’s mopping, running a tray, or solving a client issue


  • Qualifications:



    • 1+ years experience in food service, catering, or meal prep preferred


    • Valid driver’s license with clean record (preferred, not required)


    • High-functioning, dependable, and capable of juggling multiple tasks with minimal supervision


    • Strong attention to detail and sense of urgency


    • Excellent communication and teamwork skills


    • Able to lift up to 50 lbs, stand for long periods, and work in a fast-paced environment


    • Bonus: ServSafe certification or leadership experience in small teams


  • Compensation & Schedule:
