Banquet Manager Jobs in California

A Banquet Manager in the hospitality industry is responsible for overseeing all aspects of a banquet or event, including planning, organizing, staffing, and controlling events. Their primary tasks include liaising with clients to understand their requirements, coordinating with the kitchen staff, managing event logistics, and ensuring that the event runs smoothly and meets the client's expectations. They also handle administrative responsibilities such as event budgeting, payment processing, and record-keeping.

Important skills for a Banquet Manager include strong leadership, excellent communication, and problem-solving skills. They should also possess a keen eye for detail, be able to multitask, and have strong organizational abilities. A degree in hospitality management is often required for this role, and certifications such as the Certified Banquet Manager (CBM) offered by the American Hotel & Lodging Educational Institute can be beneficial. Before becoming a Banquet Manager, a person may have roles such as a Banquet Server, Banquet Coordinator, or Restaurant Manager.
