Dining Prep Cook

Description

Creating Awesome Experiences…it’s why we get out of bed in the morning. Kick-Ass Catering…it’s what we do, and what we’ve been doing for more than 50 years. And if we’ve learned one thing during that time, it’s that catering is so much more than providing incredibly tasty food. To be the BEST, we need the BEST, and that means we need teammates who are:

• Poised
• Positive
• and who Put People First

We don’t care who you are or what your area of expertise is. If you have passion and love working with an incredible team, you’ve come to the right place. This is Butler’s Pantry.
