Manager of Catering Jobs

A Manager of Catering in the hospitality industry is responsible for overseeing the planning and execution of catering events. Their roles include liaising with clients to understand their needs and preferences, designing menus, coordinating with chefs and other staff, ensuring the quality of food and service, managing budgets, and ensuring compliance with health and safety regulations. They not only ensure everything runs smoothly on the day of the event, but also manage relationships with suppliers and vendors, and track and report on catering performance.

Important skills for a Catering Manager include strong organizational skills, attention to detail, problem-solving abilities, excellent communication skills, and a good understanding of food and beverage management. They should also have knowledge of basic accounting, customer service, and negotiation skills. Certifications in food service management or a related field, such as a Bachelor's degree in Hospitality Management, or a Certified Professional in Catering and Events (CPCE) certification can be beneficial. Prior to becoming a Manager of Catering, a person might have roles such as a Catering Coordinator, Event Planner, or a Sous Chef.
