Chef de Cuisine

The Los Angeles Yacht Club, a historic private waterfront club in San Pedro, California, is seeking an established caterer, chef, or hospitality company to become our exclusive culinary partner .

This is not a job opening —it's a unique opportunity to establish your catering company's home base in a fully equipped commercial kitchen while serving as the Club's preferred food service provider.

We're looking for an established catering company or hospitality operator that needs a permanent commercial kitchen to support and grow its business.

In exchange for the exclusive use of our commercial kitchen as your operating base, you'll provide food service for our recurring member dining events—approximately seven small events each month .

In addition, you'll have the opportunity to cater larger Club events, weddings, regattas, banquets, and private functions. These events are contracted and compensated separately , creating additional revenue opportunities beyond the recurring monthly commitment.

This partnership is designed to help both organizations grow. You gain an established commercial kitchen and a prestigious waterfront location for your business, while the Club gains a reliable, high-quality culinary partner.

• Cater weddings and private events held at the Club

• Provide food service for regattas and community events
