Event Coordinator (Part Time)

Fooda•Santa Monica, CA

47d•$22 - $23

About The Position

We believe a workplace food program is something employees should love and look forward to every day. It all began in 2011 when a group of office workers at a major logistics company in Chicago had a lunch problem. Nearby options were limited, and the team was spending too much time and money traveling around the city to their favorite restaurants. They had an idea: bring Chicago's local restaurant culture inside the office and that's when Fooda was born. Today, we operate in 45+ cities and have served over 100 million meals. Fooda is recruiting a part-time Event Coordinator that will assist with catering for a West LA client, as well as being in the field at other client sites on alternative days. This is an excellent opportunity for candidates with a hospitality or events background who are eager to learn about food service, work with great customers, and support a broad network of local restaurants.
