Job description
We're looking for a skilled, dependable on-call cook to join our catering team for high-end events. You'll work alongside our BOH leads to execute elevated menus for weddings, private dinners, corporate galas, and more — bringing fine dining standards to every plate, no matter the scale.
What you'll do
- Prepare and execute event menus to fine dining standards, handling mise en place, plating, and service execution
- Collaborate with the BOH team and event leads in fast-paced, high-volume catering environments
- Arrive on time and ready to perform, often working early mornings, evenings, and weekends based on event schedules
- Maintain strict food safety, sanitation, and quality standards throughout every event
- Assist with kitchen breakdown, equipment transport, and post-event cleanup as needed
Requirements
- Minimum 3 years of BOH catering experience, with a strong understanding of event kitchen workflows
- Demonstrated fine dining or upscale catering experience — precision plating and elevated cuisine are a must
- Strong knife skills and proficiency across cooking stations (sauté, grill, prep)
- Food handler's certification (or ability to obtain prior to first event)
- Reliable transportation and flexibility to work varied event dates and locations
