Job Description:
The Catering Support Staff member in Mahboula plays a crucial behind-the-scenes role in ensuring the smooth execution of catering services within hotels, resorts, event venues, and private functions. Their responsibilities encompass a wide range of logistical, setup, and service-related tasks that contribute significantly to the overall success of catered events, from corporate luncheons to elaborate wedding receptions.
Before events, Catering Support Staff help with the transportation and setup of catering equipment, food stations, and dining arrangements.
