A catering manager is responsible for the overall operation of a catering facility. This involves not only running the catering facility during an event, but also handling all the preparation before the event and after as well. A catering manager should work closely with clients to ensure their event is a success, and follow up with the client to get feedback after the event itself as well. Catering managers not only manage client relations but also maintain employee and vendor relations to run a successful catering facility.
