First, a bit about me…

Everyone at B&B works very closely with me, Katie, the Founder & Creative Lead of Brie & Banquet. I’m passionate, energetic, bold and relentlessly committed to this business and our client’s experience. There is no role here that I haven’t done myself. I daydream about teammates that are passionate and thoughtful, the ones who care a LOT, those that have a sharp attention to detail, a strong work ethic, and a drive to be their best possible whatever they’re doing, even the silliest menial task. If this resonates with you, lets chat!

We are currently hiring for:

Location: Brie & Banquet HQ, 524 42 Ave SE Calgary

We are seeking a reliable and motivated Kitchen & Catering Assistant to join our small but mighty team. As a Kitchen & Catering Assistant, you will play a crucial role in supporting the kitchen operations and ensuring the smooth running of catering preparation. If you have a passion for the food industry, want to be a part of a beautiful and vibrant microbusiness and enjoy working in a fast-paced environment, we would love to hear from you.

This is not your usual kitchen assistant position, this role is expansive, diverse and includes things like general cleaning + kitchen organization, food prep, ingredient inventory, and also things like fresh floral prep, light admin work and client care, social media content creation, assisting where required.

The perfect fit knows their way around a kitchen, can stand for long periods of time, can lift 30lbs with ease and is an adaptable, cheerful go-getter with a can-do attitude and without rigid ideals of what this role “should” look like. We do things different here with a big focus on aesthetics and unwavering client care.

This position requires schedule flexibility. Hours range between 12 - 20+ hours a week depending on bookings, seasonality and the needs of the business. MUST be available Fridays and early Saturday mornings. We offer flexibility with hours, for the right fit. We offer regular check-ins and wage increases - if we thrive, you thrive!

Experience:

• Previous experience in catering, or in a restaurant or food service setting.

• Basic knowledge of food preparation techniques.

• Familiarity with kitchen equipment including a meat slicer is beneficial.

• Ability to work in a fast-paced environment while maintaining rigid attention to detail.

• Must have strong communication skills, have a positive demeanor, be creative, and self-motivated.

• Must have reliable personal transportation and a drivers license - public transit does not come to our kitchen in the early mornings that you will be required to work.

Benefits:

• Competitive pay starting at $23 - $27/hour based on experience with performance-based incentives and regular wage increases for efficient, committed, hard-workers.

• Opportunity for growth and advancement within the business, with potential for more hours as we grow together.

• Health, wellness and dental benefits after 3 months.
