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. 

Hakuna Hospitality Group is an Equal Opportunity Employer. We celebrate diversity and are committed to creating an inclusive environment for all employees.
