Catering manager

Catering managers plan and deliver food service for events, from weddings to corporate functions. The work involves planning menus and logistics, managing staff and budgets, coordinating with clients and venues, and overseeing the smooth delivery of food and service at events, often under tight timelines.

They work for catering companies, venues, and institutions. The role suits organised, calm people who can juggle many events and details at once, lead teams in unfamiliar venues, handle clients and last-minute changes gracefully, and deliver food and service that make each event a success.
