The Catering Executive Chef role at Synchrony in Stamford, CT, is an exciting opportunity within Sodexo's Corporate Services division. This position primarily oversees the catering production for a high-volume site that generates approximately 2 million dollars in catering revenue annually. The catering operations consist mainly of special events, which make up about 70% of the business, including exclusive board events for the CEO, site-wide lunches for employees, and sophisticated high-end dinners for intimate groups. The remaining 30% involves day-to-day catering activities, all conducted onsite. The current food landscape features a café operational only during breakfast and lunch, and this role focuses on catering that demands culinary excellence and meticulous attention to detail.
As the Catering Executive Chef 2, the candidate will be hands-on with cooking about 90% of the time, engaging directly in food preparation while managing various aspects of catering production. Responsibilities include menu planning with custom catering menus tailored to client needs, client meetings to discuss and finalize catering requirements, ordering and inventory management to ensure seamless operations, and controlling food costs efficiently. Safety and sanitation standards must be rigorously maintained to comply with regulations and Sodexo’s quality benchmarks. This role requires flexibility, primarily working Monday through Friday but with willingness to adjust the schedule as needed to accommodate special events.
Compensation for this position is competitive and equitable, factoring in the candidate's education level, relevant skills, and years of experience. Sodexo offers a comprehensive benefits package that includes medical, dental, and vision care, wellness programs, 401(k) with company matching, paid time off, company holidays, career growth opportunities, and tuition reimbursement. Working at Sodexo means being part of a company dedicated to creating better everyday experiences for its employees and clients alike, with a commitment to fairness, inclusion, and career development. This is an ideal role for culinary professionals who excel in customer service, have an eye for high-quality food, and possess strong organizational skills essential in managing successful catering operations.Show Less
