Sous Chef Monday-Friday

This is a free-issue site serving breakfast and lunch daily. We also host occasional events, usually no more than four per year. Service is varied and includes buffet-style service, bistro-style plated meals, themed food days, and a large salad bar. Each day can have a slightly different service setup, so flexibility is important. Experience in contract catering would be ideal, but we are happy to support and develop the right person who has a positive attitude and a willingness to learn.,
