  • Coordinate and execute catering orders from start to finish
  • Build local relationships to grow catering revenue
  • Earn 10% commission on catering sales after 90 days

Marketing & Social Presence

  • Own and execute social media content across Instagram and TikTok
  • Create engaging, on-brand content that drives traffic and builds awareness
  • Stay current with trends and bring fresh, relevant ideas to the business

Operational Support & Execution

  • Assist with expo and takeout operations during peak periods
  • Maintain strong communication between FOH and BOH to ensure seamless service
  • Jump in wherever needed to support the team and ensure smooth, efficient operations
  • Support overall daily execution with a focus on consistency, speed, and quality

What We’re Looking For:

  • 2–5+ years of restaurant management experience in a high-volume, independent concept
  • Proven hands-on leader who leads by example and thrives on the floor
  • Experience or strong interest in catering sales and revenue generation
  • Comfortable managing social media platforms (Instagram/TikTok)
  • Strong organizational and communication skills
  • Ability to perform in a fast-paced, high-energy environment

Compensation & Opportunity:

  • Base salary: $55,000–$65,000
  • 10% commission on catering sales (after 90 days)
  • Structured 5-day work week averaging 50–55 hours
  • Growth opportunity within a stable, high-volume operation
  • High-visibility role with direct impact on operations and revenue

If you’re a hands-on operator who thrives in high-volume service and wants a role where you can influence both the guest experience and business growth, this is a strong next step.
