We’re looking for a Catering Manager who thrives on bringing big ideas to life, building meaningful client relationships, and turning every event into something unforgettable. If you love the energy of hospitality, have a talent for organization, and know how to make things happen behind the scenes and in front of guests, this is your stage. Salary range: $75,000-80,000

We pride ourselves on warm, genuine hospitality, memorable experiences, and a vibrant, guest‑focused culture that feels unmistakably Southern California.

Enjoy great team perks, including complimentary stays for you and your family, free daily lunch in our employee cafeteria, free parking, a 401(k) retirement plan, and more. For full-time team members, we also offer comprehensive Medical/Dental/Vision plans and employer-paid life insurance for added peace of mind. #TownCountrySD
