Laguna Canyon Provisions is hiring a Catering Manager!
Compensation: starting at $26/hr, depending on experience, plus a portion of event gratuity & sales commissions.
Laguna Canyon Provisions is a new, culinary-driven multi-concept food hall coming to the Spectrum Terrace campus in Irvine. Under one roof, we bring together six distinct concepts, each with its own identity and menu:
Laguna Canyon Provisions | Café + Wine Counter
Gould's Delicatessen | New York – Inspired Delicatessen
Hearthwork | Hearth-Fired Roman-Style Pinsas
Taratza | Mediterranean Bowls + Salads
Bowl Theory | Pan-Asian Bowls
OC Originals | Burgers + Chicken Sandwiches
This is a chef-forward approach to the food hall, where every concept holds itself to real restaurant standards. We're opening our doors in just a couple short weeks and building our founding team from the ground up — which means real opportunity. The team members who help us launch will be the ones we look to as we grow.
A daytime schedule with weekends off: This is a Monday-to-Friday, daytime operation. If you've spent years missing weekends and working nights, this is your chance to build a serious culinary career and still have your evenings and weekends free.
This food hall supports around 3,000 tenants, across 9 buildings, and each of the tenant companies represents endless opportunities for catering! We will create a diverse menu for breakfast, lunch and happy hours, deriving flavors from each of our culinary concepts.
We're seeking a catering manager who:
- Is very hands on, guest focused, and is is well-versed in service and event execution
- Loves personal contact with clients
- Strives to go above and beyond to turn their guests' visions into reality
- Stays calm, focused, and organized during high intensity, busy events
- Brings a team-oriented attitude and communicates well
- Is reliable, professional, and genuinely passionate about food
- Has prior corporate event experience (preferred, but a hard-working, fast-learning attitude goes a long way — all skill levels are encouraged to apply)
What you'll do:
- Sell and execute events of all kinds throughout the campus
- Assist the food hall during busy periods, particularly when event needs are light
- Ensure food quality, safety, and sanitation standards during event execution
- Build a book of repeat event clients through consistent guest satisfaction
- Grow and refine our catering capabilities in coordination with the heart of house team
- Assist with setup, inventory, and ordering as needed
