Food Services


 

The Food Services sector is about catering for large numbers of people. You could be working at one of the country's sports stadiums, feeding the crowds, or in a hospital helping to nourish patients and medical staff, or perhaps, catering for actors and extras on a  film shoot. Jobs range from front line customer service through to food production, service management, multi-site management, general management, sales and marketing, procurement, training, and compliance.

It includes businesses like:
  • Food service premises
  • On-premises catering & food services in hospitals, residential, prisons, education facilities, offices, airports, factories and other workplaces
  • Stadium & event catering
  • Off-premises catering
