Working at a Chick-fil-A® restaurant is more than a job – it’s an opportunity for teamwork and leadership development in a positive, people-focused environment. Most Chick-fil-A restaurants are locally owned and operated by independent, franchised Operators who invest in the future of their Team Members and give back to their communities.
Since the beginning, our restaurant has strived to maintain a clean and safe environment, serve great food, have fast and accurate service, and provide genuine hospitality to every guest. As a Catering Assistant, you will be the face of our restaurant and will be expected to uphold these values as you extend the "Chick-fil-A Experience" to our off-site guests. Catering Assistants are expected to assist in delivering meals to individual guests and companies through both Catering and occasional hosting of Marketing events in the Fort Wayne community ranging from assisting with Spirit Nights at the store, social media, and community outreach. With being a Catering Assistant, you have the unique ability to be an advocate for our restaurant and its values.
We are looking for professional, courteous, hardworking, and high-energy individuals who are flexible, and willing to go the extra mile to connect with our guests outside of the restaurant as a representative of our brand. A successful Catering Assistant will be able to work efficiently both individually and within a team, follow all proper procedures, and extend Chick-fil-A's genuine hospitality to every guest and individual they interact with both within and outside of the restaurant.
