Job Opportunities

Director of Food & Beverage

 

Professional Sports Catering, LLC is a food service company specializing in concessions and catering operations at minor league baseball stadiums across the country. Launched in 2005, PSC serves the needs of minor league baseball clubs who want to outsource their food business to a partner who shares their core values: taking care of their customers and providing high quality, exciting, and fresh food and beverage products.

While only 4 years old, PSC already runs all concession and catering operations at minor league baseball teams in Lansing, MI, Midland, MI, South Bend, IN, Davenport, IA, Tulsa, OK, Rancho Cucamonga, CA, and Montgomery, AL. In each of these markets, PSC makes the ballpark the best restaurant in town.

With an expanding client list and a proven business plan, we are looking for the best food service professionals in the industry to join us! We are currently looking for a Director of Food & Beverage to run our next food service operation, and this opportunity requires relocation to another domestic market still to be determined, as well as temporary relocation to our Montgomery, AL location for training.

Job Summary:
As a company, we are dedicated to re-energizing our client’s entire food service operation by bringing an exciting, high quality product mix and positively outrageous customer service to the market. The Director of Food & Beverage will either be the leader of our newest location (still to be determined for the 2011 season) or will take over the reigns at one of our existing locations.

The Director of Food & Beverage is responsible for the overall food service operation at a specific minor league baseball location, including all concessions and catering venues. Early responsibilities of the Director of Food & Beverage include managing capital investments in food service equipment, and developing exciting new menus for the concessions venues which incorporate ballpark classics with local favorites. In order to carry out this vision, this person will also focus on daily responsibilities including establishing and meeting department budgets, monitoring food and labor cost on a daily basis, establishing vendor relationships, ordering and receiving food and beverage products, maintaining proper inventory levels, and insuring the cleanliness of all food venues.

The Director of Food & Beverage must possess strong management qualities, as this position directs at least 2 full-time food service managers in concessions and catering, in addition to overseeing and leading 150+ hourly employees and non-profit groups.

Strong communication will also be a key to success in this position. The Director of Food & Beverage will grow the relationship with the client, and will be in constant communication with the client’s management team. Additionally, one of PSC’s best attributes – for both clients and employees – is the unity amongst each PSC operation and the “hands on” nature of the PSC management team. Each Director of Food & Beverage will contribute to and benefit from ongoing and detailed communication with all PSC staff across all current venues.

  • Qualifications:
    • Experience managing food service operation a must, experience in a sports or stadium venue a major plus
  • • 5+ years experience in the food service industry
  • • Strong written, verbal and interpersonal communication skills
  • • Creative culinary and strong financial management skills
  • • Ability to effectively manage team and large seasonal workforce
