Catering Sales & Business Development Coordinator
Location: Canonsburg / Southpointe, PA (Local travel required)
Job Type: Part-Time (20–25 hours/week to start, with a clear path to Full-Time)
Pay: $18–$20/hour Performance Bonuses Catering Tip Share Mileage Reimbursement
Overview
Are you a natural networker who loves turning cold introductions into lasting business relationships? Southpointe Catering is looking for a driven, outgoing Catering Sales & Business Development Coordinator to grow our corporate and event catering business across Canonsburg, Southpointe, and surrounding communities. In this dynamic, hybrid role (20–25 hours/week to start with a clear path to full-time), you’ll split your time between building relationships out in the local business community, managing key accounts, and supporting high-profile catering orders. If you thrive on independence, love the thrill of building a territory from scratch, and want uncapped earning potential through performance bonuses and tips, we want to talk to you!
What You'll Do
- New Business Development (45%): Proactively identify, cold-call, and visit corporate offices, medical practices, law firms, and local venues across Southpointe and surrounding communities to establish new catering accounts.
- Existing Account Growth (40%): Build long-term relationships with office managers and event planners, conduct post-order follow-ups, re-engage inactive accounts, and convert one-time buyers into repeat, scheduled clients.
- Catering & Operational Support (15%): Work alongside our kitchen team to enter and process orders accurately, communicate dietary requests, and occasionally assist with high-priority setups or deliveries.
What We're Looking For
- Sales Mindset: Outgoing, persistent without being pushy, confident making cold visits, and comfortable asking for the business.
- Driven & Accountable: Naturally motivated by measurable targets, comfortable working independently, and willing to take ownership when challenges arise.
- Organized Communicator: Excellent at tracking client interactions, following through on promises, and managing multiple order details simultaneously.
- Background: Sales, business development, customer service, or account management experience is strongly preferred. Prior restaurant experience is a plus, but the right drive and personality matter most.
Schedule, Territory & Requirements
- Territory: Southpointe, Canonsburg, McMurray, Peters Township, and immediate surrounding areas.
- Split Time: A balanced mix of time on-site at the restaurant and out in the local business community.
- Requirements: A valid driver's license and a reliable vehicle (mileage for approved business travel will be reimbursed).
Why Join Southpointe Catering?
We are actively building our catering arm into a primary driver for our company's future—meaning you get to help build a territory from the ground up rather than just maintain an existing book of business. If you are the type of person who sees a local office building and thinks, "I bet I can get them to order lunch from us," we want to talk to you.
