Full Job Description

We are excited to be opening a new restaurant in the American Tobacco Campus area, called East of Texas. Our original concept location has been open for a few years in Winston-Salem, NC. We have a catering department within our company, so we want to be able to build that business in the Durham area as well.

Position Overview:

The Catering & Events Coordinator is responsible for managing catering inquiries, coordinating events, building relationships with key clients and community partners, and executing catering services from start to finish. This role combines event coordination, customer service, catering sales, and event execution to help grow catering revenue while maintaining exceptional guest experiences.

This is an hourly position with flexible scheduling that includes administrative work, customer meetings, event execution, deliveries, and community outreach.

Serve as the primary point of contact for customers throughout the planning process.
Follow up on all leads in a timely and professional manner.
Meet with customers regarding event details, menu planning, tastings, and venue visits as needed.
Prepare and send proposals, contracts, invoices, and event details.
Conduct post-event follow-up with customers to gather feedback and encourage repeat business.
Maintain organized customer records and event notes.

Serve as the event lead for assigned catering functions.

Operations & Administration

Assist with event scheduling and staffing coordination.
Ensure invoices are accurate and submitted on time.
Attend department and leadership meetings as requested.

Requirements:

Excellent verbal and written communication skills.
Strong organizational and time-management abilities.
Customer service and sales experience preferred.
Ability to work independently and manage multiple projects simultaneously.
Available during busy catering seasons, including May and December.

Willing to use personal devices (phone, computer, vehicle) when necessary for job responsibilities.

Schedule:

Expected average of 30–40 hours per week based on business volume.
