Job Description

Catering Executive Soux Chef  

Savora Catering is looking for a Catering Chef who lives for the moment a guest takes their first bite at an event and can't stop talking about it. 

What You'll Do  

• Execute standout menus for every event — then customize them on the fly for allergies, dietary needs, and guest preferences without missing a beat. 

• Team up with the Director of Savora Catering and our culinary department to turn each event from a first idea into a fully planned production. 

• Run the business side like a pro: ordering, staffing, scheduling, and costing — so your creative vision actually makes it to the table on budget and on time. 

• Take the lead on-site at events, directing your team through setup, service, and breakdown as the calm, confident force that makes it all look effortless. 

• Push new ideas, seasonal twists, and creative flourishes — then execute them with the precision and consistency our clients count on every time. 

What We're Looking For  

• A genuine passion for food and for creating experiences guests talk about long after the event ends. 

• Someone creative who also thrives inside a system — you can follow a recipe and a process as well as you can build one. 

• Prior culinary leadership experience; catering or high-volume banquet background is a big plus. 

• Comfort managing costs, schedules, and people — not just the food. 

• A current food safety certification (or the willingness to get one right away). 

• Flexibility for early mornings, evenings, weekends, and travel to event venues around Delaware and Pennsylvania. 

Why Savora Catering  

• Creative freedom, built for scale — you're not stuck reheating the same banquet menu; you're designing new ones constantly, and our systems exist so your ideas actually make it to the table intact. 

• You'll watch your work land in real time — see guests react to a menu you built, on the spot, at the event you ran. 

• Real ownership over event planning, start to finish, not just execution of someone else's plan. 

• Room to grow within Hakuna Hospitality Group, a company that promotes from within. 

Ready to Apply?  

If you're ready to bring your passion for food to events people won't forget, apply today. Qualified candidates will be contacted within 3 business days to schedule the first step of the interview process.
