Job Details
Wedding Catering - Event Staff
Do you need a flexible work schedule for supplemental income? Are you looking to build skills in the catering world? We at Jeffrey A. Miller Catering (visit jamcater.com) provide innovative cuisine and extraordinary hospitality for over 700 weddings every year. We have 16 beautiful venues—mansions, museums, historical landmarks—in the Greater Philadelphia area.
Working at a JAM event is not your average service or restaurant job. Join a diverse team of people from all walks of life with a unique sense of camaraderie only possible from working at joyous, beautiful, and large weddings. JAM Catering is looking for seasonal, part-time event staff to work at these weddings and events as a front-of-house server.
The typical shift is $150 - $250. Although it’s not guaranteed, you’ll often receive cash tips from the client at the end of a shift.
You’ll have the following responsibilities:
- Unpacking equipment from our truck and setting up tables, chairs, etc.
- Serving guests by butlering and bussing food throughout cocktail hour and dinner.
- Providing hospitality by attending to guest needs.
- Cleanup, breakdown, and packing of our equipment used during the event.
And in doing so, you’ll develop the following skills:
- Building a toolbox of hospitality talents that can handle any wedding, banquet, or catered event.
- Familiarity with fine dining and wedding culture.
- We promote internally, so if you want to become an event captain/planner/chef/etc., growth is highly encouraged.
The wedding season runs from April to November. There are events every Friday, Saturday, and Sunday. A typical wedding shift runs from early afternoon to midnight and lasts between 8 to 12 hours. You should be able to drive yourself to our venues. You’ll be assigned whichever venue(s) are closest to you, usually within a 45-minute drive or less.
Physical requirements include being able to lift 20 lbs and being on your feet for the duration of an average 9-hour shift (but there will be breaks and time for staff to eat).
All applications are subject to background checks.
