We’re a NY-based, growing catering company that focuses on crafting delicious and aesthetic buffets and canapés. Think a mix of globally curious foods and the best of the classics, all focused on quality.

We cater to a full spectrum of NYC clientele, from ambitious start-ups and household-name brands to intimate private gatherings. For each event, our goal is to make sure we deliver foods that are a highlight of their respective gatherings, all while maintaining precision and calm.

We’re looking to expand our roster of reliable freelancers to help us take on a growing number of events. We offer a quick one-time paid training, fast pay (within seven days an event), and no commitment to a set schedule. Only pick up shifts you can commit to. All positions are 1099 contractor, shift-by-shift. Perfect for restaurant pros who want a reliable side-gig.

We’re a warm, hospitality-loving crew, dedicated to helping every guest leave with a memorable, feel-good experience. We hope you’ll join us.

Sundays 10 : 00am- 6 : 00 pm

Mondays, Tuesdays, and Wednesdays 6 : 00am-2 : 30pm
