Event & Catering Service Manager – $80,000–$90,000 + Benefits – San Francisco Bay Area, CA
The company is seeking an experienced Event & Catering Service Manager to lead the delivery of high‑volume, off‑site catering and events across the Bay Area. This role is ideal for a professional who thrives on organising seamless occasions, managing teams under pressure, and ensuring every detail lands perfectly.
The successful candidate will oversee weddings, corporate functions, banquets, and social events, taking responsibility for the full event journey — from initial client briefing through to post‑event review. Acting as the main point of contact for clients, the Event & Catering Service Manager will ensure that every occasion runs smoothly, safely, and on time.
This is a hands‑on, varied position where no two days are the same. One day may involve planning menus and floor layouts, while the next requires on‑site leadership, guiding the team and welcoming guests. The role offers real satisfaction for those who enjoy seeing a room come together and guests smiling.
Key Responsibilities
- Plan and manage banquets, weddings, meetings, and large‑scale off‑site events
- Meet clients to confirm requirements, menus, layouts, and staffing
- Collaborate with chefs, venues, and suppliers to deliver flawless service
- Prepare event sheets, floor plans, packing lists, and hire orders
- Supervise event and catering staff on‑site, ensuring service standards are upheld
- Oversee set‑up, service areas, and food safety compliance
- Resolve issues quickly and professionally during live events
- Record staffing and labour details, completing post‑event reviews
The Company
The organisation is a friendly, professional hospitality team known for well‑run events and warm service. Teamwork, clear communication, and pride in delivery are central to its reputation. The Event & Catering Service Manager plays a key role in maintaining and strengthening that reputation.
Benefits
- Competitive salary ($80,000–$90,000)
- 401(k)
- Health, dental, and vision insurance
- Paid time off
The Person
- Minimum 3 years’ experience as an Event & Catering Manager, Event Manager, or similar role
- Proven experience in off‑site catering and managing high‑volume events
- Strong organisational and time management skills
- Confident in leading teams on busy event floors
- Excellent client communication abilities
- Knowledge of food hygiene standards
- Calm, practical, and reliable under pressure
- Flexible with evenings, weekends, and holidays
How to Apply If you are ready to bring your expertise in off‑site, high‑volume catering to a team that values professionalism and pride in delivery, we would love to hear from you. Please apply directly through LinkedIn with your resume.
