Catering Manager jobs
In larger organisations Catering manager jobs allow the Head chef to focus entirely on the Kitchen and what it produces.
As with any organisation, the bigger they are, the more general management issues can play a key role on success. For a Head Chef this can remove their focus from the running of the Kitchen to management issues. Hence a Catering manager will carry out many of the management issues. Here are some of the tasks covered by the Catering manager
- Dealing with suppliers, negotiating prices and arranging deliveries
- Recruitment, dealing with catering recruitment agencies to appoint both permanent and temporary staff
- Consulting with chefs to plan Menus
- Responsibility to ensure Health and Safety measures are in place
- Ensuring budgets are met with regard to costs and forecasting future costs.
- Maintaining stocks and equipment
- Managing the payroll for kitchen staff
- Keeping administrative and financial records
In addition to the catering managers job alongside a Head Chef, this job title covers many different roles on the catering industry such as management in bars and hotels, cruise liners, hospitals and schools, and running catering services for corporate hospitality.
