Catering managers are responsible for overseeing the day-to-day operations of catering services in venues such as hotels, conference centres, schools, hospitals, and event spaces. Their role involves planning menus, managing budgets, supervising staff, ensuring health and safety standards are met, and dealing directly with clients to ensure their needs are satisfied. Catering managers need strong organisational and leadership skills, as well as the ability to remain calm under pressure, especially during large events or busy service times. The job can be fast-paced and may require flexibility in working hours, but it offers a dynamic environment and the opportunity to work with a variety of clients and teams.
