Paid time off

Catered Creations is hiring a Catering Lead Cook to run hot‑food production for multiple catered events and grow into a true #2 / Sous over time based on performance.

This is a quiet, focused back‑of‑house role. Most of your hours will be in a small kitchen with our Executive Chef. Other departments are in separate storefronts – if you need a big, chatty line to feel alive, this is not the place.

Think of it like a team where offense and defense are on the same side but on the field at different times:

Chef designs the game plan – what needs to be prepped, cooked, and when.

If you have both a love for the kitchen and a mind for it – you actually like timing, organization, and execution, not just “cooking whatever is in front of you” – and you don’t need a lot of chatter or constant “good job”s to stay motivated, this seat is for you.

Schedule

Client‑driven, not 9–5:

Mon–Thu: Kitchen prep + corporate catering
- ~7:30 am until the work is done (often around 5:00 pm; longer in busy season)
Fri–Sat (May–December): Frequent event days
- Late morning late evening depending on events

Expect:

1–2 days off per week (not always Sat/Sun)
Slower weeks: ~30–40 hours (Jan - March)

If you need fixed hours or guaranteed weekends off, this will not be a fit.

What You’ll Do

Production & Hot Food

Work from detailed job sheets and a whiteboard plan
Prep hot items and store them on correctly labeled rolling racks/shelves for each event
On event days, pull the right racks, wrap and label pans (event + item + counts)
Label Cambros so anyone can see what belongs where and how many pans there are
Fire hot food in commercial ovens so it cooks low and slow, not just blasted last‑minute

Events & Support

Help pull and load vans for events
Work BOH on events when scheduled: refilling buffets, managing holding temps, helping with breakdown and loading

We’ll start you on events and deliveries so you see what “right” looks like, then train you on pull/pack, core prep, and finally ovens. You won’t be thrown on five events’ hot food on Day 1.

Pay & Benefits

Base pay: $21–$23/hr (experience + capability)
Weekend event differential: +$2/hr for Friday, Saturday, Sunday event shifts
Tip share: pooled tips for prep, kitchen, events, dish (historically around +~$2/hr on top of base + differentials)
PTO: paid vacation + paid holidays after 1 year
Paid sick time: per Michigan law

Typical full‑time total comp lands roughly low‑$50Ks to low‑$60Ks/yr depending on rate, hours, and volume (no specific amount guaranteed).

Who Thrives Here (and Who Doesn’t)

We are family‑focused and high‑standard: no swearing, no drugs or alcohol on the clock, no gossip, no drama.

You will be working most days with one other person (Chef) in a separate kitchen storefront. This role suits someone who:

Likes quiet, focused work more than kitchen banter
Is self‑motivated and takes pride in clean, on‑time execution

We hire and fire by these values:

Own the Work – Fully

Finish what you start. Don’t leave pans, labels, or messes for others.

The Team Comes First

Your pace and attitude help or hurt everyone.

Professionalism

On time, prepared, clear‑headed.

Coachability

You can take direct feedback and change behavior quickly.

Integrity

Do what you say you’ll do, even when no one is watching.

This is NOT a fit if:

You want a “chill” kitchen or a big social crew
You get bored by systems, labels, and timing
You need a lot of praise or hand‑holding to do your job

Basic Requirements

Experience with hot food in high‑volume, banquet, catering, or production kitchens
Comfortable on hot stations (ovens, grill, sauté), not just cold/garde manger
Able to stand for long shifts and lift/carry 40–60+ lbs
Valid driver’s license and insurable driving record
Authorized to work in the U.S.
