A Catering Supervisor, also known as a Catering Manager, handles all aspects of the day-to-day work of a catering business. The job entails everything from interacting with clients, to preparing menus, to overseeing the presentation and serving of the food.
Catering Supervisors are hired both by large catering businesses, such as hotels and restaurants, as well as smaller catering companies. Also, many Catering Supervisors are self-employed and run their own catering businesses. The work of Catering Supervisors is done both in the kitchen, where they oversee the preparation of the food, and at various function sites, where they ensure that food service is provided to the customers satisfaction. This is an active job that usually involves long hours spent on ones feet, and also often calls for weekend and evening work.
