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
