Job Details
The Copper Key is a catering company based in Downtown LA, and we're looking to add event cooks to our team for private events, corporate functions, and celebrations around the city.
This is an on-call, per-event position. We'll reach out as events come up on the calendar, so it works well if you want flexible, well-paid shifts without being locked into a set weekly schedule.
You'd be working events on-site, executing plated and buffet menus, or running a station during service, and working alongside our event staff to keep things running smoothly. Kitchens vary by venue, sometimes a full commercial setup, sometimes something leaner, so being able to adapt is important.
We're open to a range of experience, from catering and banquet backgrounds to strong restaurant line cooks. You should be comfortable moving fast and staying organized when things get busy, have reliable transportation to venues around LA, and hold a food handler's card (or be willing to get one). Bilingual English/Spanish is a plus but not required.
Pay is $30/hr+ DOE
