About Little Moir's Catering

Little Moir's Catering brings fresh seafood, scratch cooking, bold flavors, and unpretentious, genuine hospitality to weddings, private gatherings, community events, and corporate offices. From office lunch drop-offs to full-service staffed events and our mobile food trailer, we help clients find the right fit for every occasion.

We're part of Little Moir's Restaurant Group, the family behind Food Shack, Leftovers Cafe, Sweet Fish, and Hibiscus StrEATery Market, which has been part of the local food scene for nearly 25 years.

We're looking for an energetic, organized, and flexible Catering Sales & Event Coordinator to help grow our catering business and bring our events to life.

About the Role

This is not a desk job fielding web forms. We're looking for someone who loves introducing people to great food and enjoys building relationships throughout Palm Beach County and the Treasure Coast.

You'll represent a brand people already know and trust locally. You'll guide clients from their first inquiry through proposals, planning, and event day, and you'll also go out and find new corporate, venue, and social catering business.

What You'll Do

• Handle Inbound Sales: Respond promptly to catering calls and online inquiries. Listen closely to what clients want, recommend the right format (from simple drop-offs and our mobile food trailer to full-service staffed events), and book events through warm, low-pressure follow-up.
• Build Tailored Proposals: Create detailed, accurate quotes, menus, and event timelines. Own the critical 72-hour follow-up window after every proposal is sent.
• Coordinate the Hand-Off: Turn booked events into smooth operational plans. Confirm final guest counts, timelines, staffing, and rental needs with our culinary and operations teams.
• Drive Proactive Business Development: Prospect local corporate offices, medical practices, law firms, and private organizations for recurring lunch orders, board meetings, and seasonal events. Drop off menus, deliver tasting samples, and network within the local business community.
• Build Venue & Industry Partnerships: Connect with event planners, wedding venues, clubhouses, and yacht charters to get Little Moir's on preferred vendor lists.
• Be On-Site When It Counts: Support setups, site visits, client check-ins, and events in person to make sure what we promised is what we deliver.
• Grow Repeat Business: Follow up after every event to thank clients and gather feedback. Turn one-time clients into recurring accounts and referral sources.

Who You Are

• A Natural Community Connector: Confident picking up the phone, walking into local businesses, and working the room at Chamber events and networking mixers. You're just as comfortable talking with guests at our public food trailer and community events, and you see every conversation as a chance to share what Little Moir's Catering can do.
• Organized & Detail-Oriented: You keep event dates, client notes, tastings, and contracts organized without letting anything slip through the cracks.
• Sales-Driven with a Hospitality Heart: You're motivated by closing deals and hitting revenue goals, and you understand our reputation is built on genuine hospitality, not pushy tactics.
• Hands-On & Adaptable: You're as comfortable in catering software, spreadsheets, and email as you are jumping in on-site when an event needs an extra hand.

A Note on the Schedule

This job follows the event calendar, not a 9-to-5. Many of our events happen on nights, weekends, and holidays, and you'll be expected to work them alongside regular weekday hours. Some days start with an early setup and end with a late breakdown, often outdoors in the Florida heat. It's hard work, and it's the kind of job where you get to see everything you planned come together in front of a happy crowd.

Qualifications

• 2 years of experience in catering sales, hospitality management, wedding or event planning, or outbound hospitality sales
• Proven ability to prospect, network, and generate B2B or private event revenue
• Comfortable with event management software or CRMs, POS systems, spreadsheets, and digital calendars
• Full schedule flexibility, including regular nights, weekends, and holidays
• Valid driver's license, reliable transportation, and a clean driving record for client visits and off-site events
• Ability to stand for extended periods, work outdoors, and lift up to 50 lbs during events

Benefits & Perks

• Competitive base salary plus commission on booked catering revenue
• Paid time off (PTO)
• Health / Dental / Vision insurance available
• Employee dining discounts across Food Shack, Leftovers Cafe, Sweet Fish, and Hibiscus StrEATery Market
• Room to grow within a local, independent restaurant group
