  • Strong organizational skills with the ability to multitask, prioritize, and meet deadlines.
  • Excellent written and verbal communication skills; confident in client-facing settings.
  • Knowledge of POS systems (SpotOn preferred) and basic catering logistics is a plus.
  • Must hold an active Food Handler’s Certification and BASSET Certification (or obtain within 30 days of hire).
