• Bring fresh ideas that reflect current food trends and meet client needs
• Support themed events and special dining experiences
Business & Client Relations

• Assist with ordering, inventory, and vendor coordination
• Build strong relationships with on-site client contacts and respond to their feedback
Requirements

• Associate's or bachelor's degree in Culinary Arts or Hospitality Management — preferred
• 1–2 years of experience in a food service or restaurant setting
• A natural leader who's eager to learn and grow
