Job Description

The San Francisco Catering Hub Manager is ultimately responsible for the operational, cultural, and financial health of the San Francisco Catering Hub. The role reports to the National Hub Operations Lead.

Some history:

Square recently acquired Zesty (now called Caviar for Companies), a white glove corporate catering service, to integrate with its Caviar business and create a complete food solution for companies. Caviar for Companies (CFC) services top tech companies in the Bay and delivers food from the healthiest, tastiest, best restaurants around the country. Our clients love working with us due to best-in-class service, support, and hospitality. How do we accomplish this? Through well-run, well-oiled operating centers that we call “hubs”.

So what happens in a hub? Hubs are the epicenter of our catering operations, and serve as the intersection of our inventory and people operations. Catering Captains (the folks who serve food at clients) are in and out of hubs throughout the week, ensuring that they and the client-sites have the needed supplies to service client orders. Our hub inventory teams pick and pack supplies and organize shipments for captains to deliver to clients.  This means confirming food orders to ensure the right food is leaving the restaurants, picking up serviceware as needed, and even relaxing after a hard day of work in the Captain lounge.

Hub details:

Each hub has a Catering Hub Manager who oversees daily operations. As the San Francisco Catering Hub Manager, you are ultimately responsible for the financial, operational, and cultural health of your hub. You ensure your teams have the resources they need and the business can continue to grow. You will drive best practices, practical process changes, and ensure the hub is a healthy, happy, efficient working site.
