SAGE Dining Services® is seeking a highly qualified Catering Manager with high end catering and large volume production experience in campus dining as well as strong leadership/management office skills for a gorgeous independent school in Houston, Texas.
Our chefs and culinary teams are talented individuals who know how to prepare a great meal! Menus, written by our chefs and prepared from scratch, reflect local and regional foods, flavors and culinary styles. Our culinary teams' cooking methods, recipe development and expertise make every dining experience truly unique. Our catering events rival five star restaurants.
So if you absolutely have a passion for food, want to have a schedule that is more "life friendly" than that of a restaurant, contact us today. Our best managers are as skilled in front of the house presentation and showmanship as they are in the kitchen.
Our managers also manage the financials, set the menus and manage all catering events.
This venue is primarily open Monday through Friday, but special events may occur in the evenings or on the weekends.
