Grazie Hospitality is looking for a Director of Catering Growth to build catering into a major revenue channel across both of our brands: Grazie Grazie and Grazie Nonna.
We currently operate four locations, with plans to grow to 10 locations over the next 24 months. Both brands already generate meaningful catering demand — the opportunity now is to build the systems, relationships, and sales engine that allow catering to scale alongside the company.
This is a highly entrepreneurial role for someone who wants to build something meaningful and be rewarded for creating long-term growth.
The position works closely with store leadership, marketing, and ownership.

Build the Process
Create scalable systems that support long-term growth, including:
- Lead tracking and conversion
- Client retention
- Reactivation of previous accounts
- Reporting and forecasting
- Repeatable sales processes
