About The Position

Harvest Moon Catering is hiring Event Chefs. Hospitality is about creating a sense of place where everyone has a seat at the table. At Harvest Moon Catering, we give consistent and thoughtful attention to details. We provide exceptional food and exceptional service, and we believe the best way to serve our current and future clients is to add talented and high-performing employees to our team to help create and execute our clients' visions for their events. Harvest Moon Catering is looking for motivated, enthusiastic, hospitality-driven individuals to add to our front of house team. Previous experience is certainly a plus, but not required, as we have extensive on-the-job training available. Discover the Harvest Moon Catering difference. We respect hospitality as a calling. Serving others is a vital and yet challenging vocation, and we are committed to helping our team find daily and lasting fulfillment in their work. We recruit the best of the best. Our rigorous recruitment process means that we have a team composed of employees of the highest caliber. We offer a flexible work environment. Though Harvest Moon Catering does require our team members to work on select dates, our Front of House staff have the flexibility to choose most of their events and create a schedule that works for them. And our online tools keep them connected without costly trips to the office. We nurture teams of excellence. Our team members develop a genuine bond with their coworkers, trusting that each member is as qualified and dedicated as they are. We empower employees and foster a spirit of continuous improvement. We work with team members to say yes to creative suggestions to make life better for our clients and our employees. At Harvest Moon, we work with best-in-class teammates from a variety of backgrounds who share a passion for hospitality, quality of food, and delighting customers. If you have never felt professionally challenged before, think long and hard before applying for this position. You will be surrounded by "A+ professionals" who expect you to perform at their level every day, and you will have the very best administrators to support you. Hospitality is a fast-paced, dynamic industry, and life at HMC is no exception. Here you'll need to be able to shift between tasks frequently, while still having a high attention to detail and quality while preparing a broad variety of food for private dinners and huge galas.
