The ideal candidate thrives in fast-paced environments, communicates effectively, and takes pride in creating memorable dining experiences through attentive and professional service.

We provide catering services for concert venues, weddings and social events, as well as corporate clients throughout San Diego.

Key Responsibilities

  • Set up and arrange tables, chairs, linens, and catering equipment according to event specifications
  • Ensure all food and beverage service areas are clean, organized, and presentation-ready at all times
  • Provide attentive and professional food and beverage service to guests throughout each event
  • Execute multiple types of service, including buffet, server-attended buffet, tray-passed hors d'oeuvres, food stations, action stations, and plated service
  • Prepare, maintain, and replenish buffet and beverage stations as needed
  • Monitor guest tables, anticipate needs, and clear dishes efficiently
  • Assist with event breakdown, including cleaning, packing, and restoring the venue
  • Maintain a polished appearance, positive attitude, and professional demeanor
  • Collaborate with team members and follow direction from Event Managers and leadership
  • Perform additional duties as assigned to support successful event execution
Qualifications

  • Responsible Beverage Service (RBS) certification (or willingness to obtain)
  • Previous experience in food service, catering, or banquet environments preferred
  • Strong communication and customer service skills
  • Ability to work efficiently in a fast-paced, high-pressure environment
  • Team-oriented mindset with a strong work ethic
  • High attention to detail and organizational skills
  • Flexibility to work evenings, weekends, and holidays as required
  • Ability to stand for extended periods and lift up to 50 lbs
Growth & Advancement Opportunities

This role is more than just event support-it is an entry point into a growing hospitality organization that values internal development and long-term career growth.

High-performing team members may have opportunities to advance into roles such as Lead Catering Server, Captain/Event Lead, Event Manager, or Operations roles.

We support career development through hands-on training, mentorship from experienced Event Managers, leadership opportunities during live events, cross-training in operations, and exposure to a wide range of high-volume, high-profile events.
