Job Description

HSG Catering Inc is a well-established tour catering company known for providing exceptional culinary services to some of the biggest names in the music industry. With years of experience in the touring catering business, HSG Catering has built a reputation for quality, creativity, and reliability. Operating out of custom 53-foot mobile kitchens and traveling alongside the artists via tour buses, the company offers a unique and dynamic environment where culinary professionals can merge their cooking skills with the exciting world of music tours. This niche within the catering industry demands not only culinary expertise but also adaptability to the fast-paced and ever-changing touring lifestyle.

HSG Catering Inc is currently seeking qualified Sous Chefs and Cooks to join their team going into the new year. This role provides an invaluable opportunity for culinary professionals who are passionate about cooking and interested in touring nationally while working with top-tier music productions. The position is based in Nashville and involves weekend warrior tour schedules that typically span several months. The tours commence mainly on Wednesday nights and conclude on Sundays, allowing the team to return home during the weekdays.

The role of the Sous Chef/Cook at HSG Catering goes beyond traditional kitchen duties. As part of a travel-based culinary crew, candidates must demonstrate not only strong kitchen skills such as knife proficiency and cooking speed but also possess excellent organizational abilities, a pleasant attitude, and a committed work ethic. The company values creativity and offers chefs the freedom to express themselves in their dishes since there are no set menus, emphasizing innovation and variety in the meals prepared.

Working for HSG Catering Inc means being part of a collaborative and efficient kitchen team dedicated to delivering high-quality food under demanding tour schedules. Employees should be prepared to work long hours and maintain a clean, efficient workspace while fostering a collegial and supportive atmosphere. Punctuality and reliability are emphasized to keep up with the fast-paced, mobile work environment.

This position offers competitive salary packages and includes perks such as free food and snacks during work hours. There is a significant opportunity for career advancement within the company, with the potential for continued work after initial tours conclude. Candidates with previous touring experience will have an advantage, although all interested individuals with the required skills are encouraged to apply.

Overall, this role is ideal for culinary professionals eager to combine their passion for food with the exciting lifestyle of music tour catering. Joining HSG Catering Inc means traveling the country and showcasing culinary talents to some of the biggest names in entertainment while growing in a unique and rewarding career path.
