Onsite Event Server

Reporting to the Onsite Event Manager and working closely with the rest of the onsite Contigo Catering event team, this role is similar to that of a server at a restaurant, but with a constantly changing environment. They help execute event details to ensure that each event is executed smoothly, and that every client, venue, and vendor leaves with a positive impression of Contigo Catering. As such, the ideal candidate is outgoing and high energy, adept at keeping track of multiple simultaneous priorities and communicating proactively with each team member, and is capable of having fun while maintaining a high standard of accountability at every stage of our process. We are a small, tightly knit team that enjoys good food and values good people. We are seeking candidates with long-term potential who will feel comfortable growing with us.

Our office, kitchen, and warehouse are located in Southeast Austin at 3709 Promontory Point Drive, Suite B201, Austin Texas 78744, but this role works almost entirely onsite at our client events. As such, this role involves travel to and presence at various event spaces throughout and around Austin, particularly downtown, Westlake, and Dripping Springs. Reliable transportation is required. Occasionally, travel to event locations such as Marfa is required, and team support for transport is provided.

A successful candidate in this role embodies the following:

• Each and every one of our clients and their guests is satisfied. You provided exceptional service that they remark upon in the wake of the event. You represented Contigo Catering well, keeping it in mind with everything you do (attire, language, details, clean-up, etc.).
• You help set a new standard: venues and other vendors remember our team for providing quality service that stands out, detailed follow through from start to finish, and it all leaves them inspired to recommend us.
• You are a versatile team player, communicating and assisting proactively. You adapt to the changing environments and needs while contributing to team cohesion and ensuring the highest quality standards are maintained. The team enjoys being around you and you don’t hesitate to do the dirty work when it needs to be done.
