Catering Assistant

You will provide catering for meetings and events, preparing simple food items, delivering food and beverages to meeting rooms, setting up for events, and keeping a clean hospitality preparation area. You'll take pride in providing a high-quality hospitality service. You will also work in our catering outlets, serving customers and operating tills, and will take pride in maintaining a clean and attractive environment for customers.
