Looking for experienced catering wait staff for event work (we can also train high potential individuals with exceptional energy and service orientation)...We're scaling up ahead of opening a gorgeous 500+ person venue later this year!
This is a great job for an experienced catering server who is excited to work and contribute to creative, compelling and meaningful events while enjoying the flexibility that our role affords!
- Work with a team of colleagues that genuinely cares about doing a great job.
- Work on some of the most impactful/meaningful events for great clients who appreciate our work (and if that's ever not the case, we have your back and they will be former clients)
- Receive detailed job sheets that set up up for a successful event!
Bite Catering Couture is looking for thoughtful and detail-oriented wait staff experienced in executing high end events. This is an on-call position that allows you to accept shifts that fit with your schedule.
We are looking for front of house team members able to deliver at a high standard and high level of service while being able to follow process.
Bite offers a boutique catering company with a very detailed approach to staffing and planning, which means that you get to run events off of a plan rather than the seat of your pants. Part of providing great service to our clients is understanding how to interact with them given our roles, being able to correctly answer questions about the menu items you're serving, and otherwise providing a high level of energy, professionalism, and service.
If that kind of process sounds like your cup of tea, then we'd love to hear from you and see if you jive with our team!
Success in this role generally looks like:
- Experience serving in front of house teams at high end events
- Understanding of a range of event services: event set-up (table-setting, display set-up, buffet set-up), buffet service, plated service (family-style and plated), drink service and clean-up
- Great judgement and professionalism for the full duration of events
- Ability to buy into an established process
- Ability to both accept and provide constructive feedback
Why work at Bite
Because we allow you to contribute in a meaningful way to the biggest events in peoples' lives while being supported by a talented team.
Bite Catering Couture is a high-end, design-focused catering company that prides itself on offering thoughtfully designed and beautifully presented catering to the most discerning clientele. Whether it's a dazzling downtown corporate gala, a gorgeous Malibu baby shower, or a wedding highlighting the fusion of different cultures (and food!), you help us shape the memories for each client you touch.
The role
This is an on-call wait staff position. Depending on your interest and availability, many of our staff also opt into other available event roles at our company.
Our approach to catering
Our tagline is “Designed Thoughtfully. Crafted Lovingly. Presented Beautifully.” Our events reflect this across a range of different service levels (delivery to high end full-service) and themes (we’re known for a number of our thematic menus like high tea, small bites, and holidays).
As mentioned, we're pretty detailed for the industry. So expect to get pretty detailed information about what type of event you'll be walking into and some specifics about what (and who) matter to make this event a success.
Requirements
- Reliable transportation to events throughout the greater Los Angeles area
