At Savory, we have a common thread that resonates through everything we do: PASSION! We are passionate about the creation of our menus, where our food comes from, and, most importantly, we’re passionate about our people and the hospitality we show to our clients, our vendors, and each other. Our rapid growth has prompted us to seek qualified individuals who will add a positive impact to our team and help shape the future of Savory.

About the role
We are seeking a Catering Attendant to join the team at Savory Hospitality at one of our onsite business dining spaces. Our ideal candidate will anticipate and address the needs of the company and our client with a heavy focus on food and beverage presentation, replenishment, safety, and high-end product quality. The Catering Attendant will successfully set up, replenish, and safely receive Savory commissary orders while embodying the full Savory spirit and providing exceptional hospitality at every step. This position also supports the Barista team during busy periods.

Our business dining experiences are one of our unique services that offer team members the experience of working alongside the Savory team as well as directly interfacing with our onsite client on a day-to-day basis.

This role is a key addition to our growing team. Here are some examples of the primary responsibilities of our onsite Catering Attendant:

• Embody Savory’s core hospitality standards at every turn, externally with our guests and internally with teammates
• Review and revise food presentation with precise attention to detail
• Craft espresso drinks, serve coffee and tea in support of the Barista team
• Ensure that the buffet is always fully stocked and ready to serve incoming guests
• Assist in serving guests in a professional and courteous manner
• Communicate dynamically, both internally and externally with all levels of both organizations: upper management, associates, clients, and back-of-house culinary team
• Maximize downtime during shifts by proactively completing side work to maintain a smooth workflow at all times

What we’re looking for
At Savory, our people are at the heart of everything we do. We’re a tight-knit team of passionate, innovative culinarians who strive to live our values every day: authenticity, curiosity, collaboration, solutions, and community.

Your experience should show us the following:

• Prior Barista experience highly preferred!
• Previous experience in hospitality: catering assistant, server, or other guest-facing role
• Proven ability to anticipate guest needs and multitask
• Knowledge of Department of Health food safety best practices
• A true team player: reliable, diligent, dedicated, communicative, and collaborative

Job requirements:

• Capability to maintain a stationary position, often standing for prolonged periods in varying temperature conditions
• Ability to repeatedly lift up to 25lbs
• DOH Food Handler’s certificate preferred
• Willingness to work a daytime schedule Monday – Friday and occasionally including nights, weekends, or holidays

In addition to a growth-focused, positive work environment, our talented team enjoys:

• Competitive rate ($20.00/hour)
• Company-sponsored medical plans, including health, dental, and vision insurance for all full-time employees after 90 days
• 401K matching program
• Flexible Spending Account (FSA) and transit enrollment
