Wolfgang Puck Catering Salary: $75,000 - $80,000

Wolfgang Puck Catering is committed to recruiting individuals who express an interest in and passion for hospitality-driven experiences; who come from diverse backgrounds, are open-minded and curious about our clients and guests; and, most of all, who possess a welcoming smile and spirit. Our ultimate goal is to develop mentoring and career building opportunities through a talent pipeline that allows us to promote from within.

"The most important thing in life, whatever you do, has to be passion."

Success on our team starts with our culture:

We have Wolfgang's PASSION for our business, our product, and our people / guests / clients.

A FLEXIBLE MINDSET is key; we are strategic business partners who wear multiple hats.

Our services require a CONCIERGE mentality, a bias to action with humble hospitality.

We are out-of-the-box PROBLEM SOLVERS, who look around corners so our clients and guests don't have to.

We curate company and partner resources to bring our client's vision to life. We seek to cultivate the next generation of talent, purveyors and partnerships.

We bring an entrepreneurial approach to deliver results for our clients (you might call this scrappy).

Collaboration and openness to innovative business tools, new ways of thinking and ability to partner across departments are essential to create optimal business solutions.

"I can have the best food, but if we don't have good people, it won't get you very far."
