Event Supervisor / Lead

About Us BakeChop Catering & Events is the leading catering company in the area, specializing in both intimate gatherings and large-scale events. We host events in-house at our beautiful downtown venue and run a busy offsite catering operation throughout the region. No two events are alike — and we love it that way.

When you're working, you're fully in it. You'll supervise and roll up your sleeves alongside the team — leading the floor one event, bartending the next, and loading the truck the morning after that.
