Collaborate with the catering team to ensure smooth, efficient service from start to finish.

End the event on a high note by breaking down and cleaning the prep areas, leaving the venue spotless and organized.

At least 1 year of culinary experience in a catering, banquet, or similar setting.

Strong knowledge of food preparation, presentation techniques, and food safety practices.

A team-focused mindset with excellent communication skills.

Physical stamina to stand, walk, bend, and lift up to 50 pounds for extended periods.
