Lead the catering department and provide direction to hourly leads and catering staff.
Coordinate chefs, servers, and support personnel to provide efficient and professional event service.
Schedule and deploy staff based on event requirements and business needs.
Work closely with culinary and hospitality teams to ensure seamless event execution.
Maintain high service standards and provide leadership during event preparation and execution.

Menu & Financial Management

Collaborate with executive and head chefs on menu development and updates, incorporating seasonal ingredients and client preferences as appropriate.
Manage catering budgets, costs, and revenue to support profitable operations while maintaining service standards.
Monitor financial performance and identify opportunities to improve operational efficiency and profitability.
