Operating across North America, the company fosters a collaborative and growth-oriented environment where team members are empowered to advance their careers through continuous training and development. SAGE Dining Services values positivity, passion for cooking, and a strong commitment to hospitality, ensuring a welcoming atmosphere for both employees and guests alike.

This particular opportunity is for a Catering & Front-of-House Team Member at a prestigious private school in Dallas, TX. Serving a vibrant community of approximately 1,200 students and faculty, the role centers on providing exemplary catering services and front-of-house support to enrich the campus dining experience. The position operates on a part-time basis, featuring varied shifts from Monday through Sunday between 8 a.m. and 2:30 p.m., with occasional evening hours and catering events. Summer breaks offer additional time off, which is a valuable perk for work-life balance.

As a Catering & Front-of-House Team Member, the successful candidate will play a pivotal role in orchestrating highly organized and flawlessly executed catering functions, ensuring that each event meets or exceeds client expectations. This demanding yet rewarding position involves setting up buffets or serving stations with precision, maintaining strict food safety and sanitation standards, and ensuring all food presentations are visually appealing. Team members must display creativity and meticulous attention to detail when arranging tables, linens, and chairs to create an inviting ambiance suited for formal or casual occasions. The role also demands strong communication skills to effectively collaborate with team members and interact professionally with guests, embodying the company's commitment to exceptional hospitality.

SAGE Dining Services is deeply invested in the professional growth of its team members. With ongoing daily training and comprehensive development programs, employees are encouraged to expand their culinary and service expertise. The company uniquely supports internal promotions, with over 60% of management positions filled by employees rising through the ranks. This approach not only motivates team members but also ensures a culture of loyalty and shared success. Furthermore, the option to transfer across multiple educational venues within the SAGE network provides additional career flexibility and opportunities.

Employees benefit from competitive hourly pay rates between $19.00 and $21.00, combined with a suite of benefits for full-time positions, including health, life, short-term disability, vision, dental, accident, and hospital care insurance, along with paid vacation, holidays, and personal days. The organization also offers a 401(k) matching program, paid sick time, uniforms and shoes, a generous referral program, team member meals, and an engaging employee discount program known as SAGE Perks. This program offers savings on retail purchases, wireless plans, movie tickets, and various entertainment options, further enhancing the value of working with SAGE Dining Services.

In summary, this position is ideal for individuals passionate about hospitality, who thrive in a collaborative team setting, and are eager to deliver outstanding guest experiences through catering and front-of-house service.
