Overview

We are seeking a dynamic, results-driven Catering Sales & Event Manager to drive growth and deliver exceptional event experiences at Crowsfoot. In this role, you will own the entire event lifecycle—from hunting for new business and marketing our capabilities, to planning and executing both onsite and offsite catering events.

The ideal candidate is a blend of a strategic salesperson, a creative marketer, and an organized project manager who thrives in a fast-paced environment and loves bringing memorable experiences to life.

Key Responsibilities

1. Sales & Business Development

  • Respond to incoming leads promptly, conduct site tours, and present tailored proposals showcasing our venue and culinary offerings.
  • Meet or exceed monthly and quarterly sales targets.
  • Negotiate contracts, build accurate quotes, and manage billing and final invoicing.

  • Develop and execute localized marketing strategies to promote our onsite and offsite catering capabilities.
  • Maintain relationships with local corporate partners, wedding planners, and community organizations to build a steady referral network.
  • Represent the Crowsfoot brand at networking events, bridal expos, and industry trade shows.

3. Event Planning & Execution

  • Act as the primary point of contact for clients, guiding them through menu selection, floor plans, timelines, and logistics.
  • Coordinate all event details for both onsite (venue space management) and offsite events (transportation logistics, rentals, site restrictions).
  • Liaise with the kitchen and culinary team to ensure menus are executable and dietary restrictions are managed flawlessly.
  • Oversee event setup, execution, and teardown—managing service staff and troubleshooting issues in real time to ensure client satisfaction.

Qualifications & Skills

  • Experience: 3–5+ years of experience in catering sales, hotel banquet management, or event planning (minimum 3 years required).
  • Versatility: Proven track record of managing both onsite venue logistics and complex offsite catering setups.
  • Tech Savvy: Familiarity with catering software (e.g., Total Party Planner, Tripleseat, Caterease), CRM platforms, and basic POS systems.
  • Communication: Exceptional verbal and written communication skills with a natural ability to build rapport quickly.
  • Flexibility: Ability to work a flexible schedule, including evenings, weekends, and holidays, based on event schedules.
  • Licensing & Physical Requirements:
  • Valid Smart Serve certification (required).
  • Valid driver’s license (required for offsite event management).
  • Ability to stand for long periods during events.
