What pay to put on a catering manager poster
Posters with a real number get more walk-ins than “competitive pay.” For reference, the Bureau of Labor Statistics puts the median for food service managers at $33.36/hr nationally and $44.55/hr in the Boston metro (May 2025 estimates). The full catering manager salary breakdown shows the range.
The catering manager role in one line
A catering manager sells, plans, and oversees off-premise and on-premise events for a restaurant, hotel, or catering company. The role bridges sales, kitchen, and front of house to deliver weddings, corporate lunches, and private parties.
Requirements worth printing
Keep the poster to the two or three that actually screen people out. The rest belongs in the full posting.
- Experience in catering, events, or restaurant management is preferred
- Strong organization, communication, and sales skills
- Ability to build and manage event budgets and timelines
- ServSafe Manager certification is often required or preferred
- Comfort lifting, loading, and standing for long events
Typical schedule
Catering managers typically work a mix of weekday office hours for sales and planning plus evening and weekend event shifts.
