Working in catering: varied, hospitable and practical work
Are you hospitable, flexible and do you like working with people? Then a job in catering is right up your street. Whether you want to work in a company restaurant, event location or care institution - with Euro Planit you will quickly find a suitable job in the catering sector. Whether you are experienced or just starting out, we will help you find work that suits you.
Catering is a versatile industry in which no two days are the same. You take care of meals, drinks, hygiene and above all: satisfied guests. It is work in which your efforts are immediately visible and appreciated.


What does working in catering involve?
Catering staff provide food and drink at locations where guests or employees are present on a daily or temporary basis. You can think of a company restaurant, school canteen, hospital, sports event or conference centre. Depending on the position, you work in the kitchen, behind the counter, at the cash desk or on location at the customer's premises.
You have a lot of contact with guests or colleagues and are responsible for a clean, tidy and hospitable working environment.
Common tasks:
- Preparing simple meals, sandwiches and snacks
- Dispensing food and drinks to guests or employees
- Replenishing stocks, crockery and refrigerated products
- Cash register and checkout
- Tidying up, washing up and cleaning the workplace
- Preparing for meetings or events (buffets, coffee points)
- Acting hospitably and representatively towards visitors
In some positions, you work in a small team, in others you work independently on location. Working hours may be during the day, evenings or weekends, depending on the type of catering.
Where can you work in catering?
The catering industry is broad and offers work in different types of locations:
- Company catering - in company restaurants, offices or factories
- Care catering - in hospitals, care homes or nursing homes
- Educational catering - in school or university canteens
- Event catering - at weddings, fairs or sporting events
- Government and institutions - such as defence, courts or town halls
Through Euro Planit, you can work at accredited catering companies or as part of a facilities department within an organisation. We offer both part-time and full-time positions, often in day shifts - ideal for those looking for a good work-life balance.
Who is working in catering suitable for?
Working in catering requires a customer-oriented attitude, overview and an active working style. You don't need to have completed catering training - motivation, cleanliness and enthusiasm are often more important than a degree.
Qualities that come in handy:
- Hospitable and sociable
- Representative appearance
- Physically fit (lots of standing and walking)
- Independent and stress-resistant
- Flexible in terms of working hours and location
- Basic knowledge of hygiene regulations (HACCP) is an advantage
Students, returners or people looking for a practical side job are also welcome in the catering industry. No experience yet? No problem! Many jobs are easy to learn on the job.

- Catering administrator or location manager
- Catering team leader
- Kitchen assistant or independent cook
- Facility assistant
- Planner or coordinator at a caterer
Many clients offer training courses in HACCP, food safety, customer orientation or leadership. Euro Planit will be happy to help you think about your future in catering.
