In modern realities, the restaurant business is at a stable stage of development. This is evidenced by the appearance in the industry of such a service as traveling to a specific site.
Catering is translated literally from English as a supply of provisions. This is nothing more than catering services that the restaurant provides for employees of enterprises and during any events. This industry covers activities such as delivering meals to the office, organizing parties, weddings, celebrations in a cottage or outdoors or in large buildings with a capacity of approximately 400-500 people.
Catering conditions
The catering company takes care of all the organization of the event. The kitchen will come with its equipment necessary for cooking from the ordered menu. But it is important to note that if the event takes place on the street, then you need some kind of room with a roof where the cooks will prepare the ordered dishes and give them to the waiters. It is also necessary to ensure that workers have running water to rinse certain products and comply with hygiene standards.
Companies providing this service may offer to use the service of various types of bars, vegetarian cuisine, the possibility of creating a tasting celebration, as well as events in the national style with special dishes, decor, serving and decoration.

Vacancies in catering companies in Moscow
The described industry is quite widely developed and always needs to be replenished - from a sales manager to a waiter and a cook. Therefore, many sites that publish vacancies, offer mainly work in this area.
It is the "salesman" and is a particularly demanded profession. Such people are required in these companies almost constantly. The ability to trade services in a quality manner for a corporate client is a complex area in which, according to restaurant business experts, there are few real professionals.
A significant problem is also not too high salary of an employee in this area. Often, companies lose their employees precisely because of this. In catering companies in Moscow, salaries range from 25 to 50 thousand rubles, a bonus is a percentage of revenue.
Features of the work of catering companies
Why is a sales manager so important? "Selling" owns a customer base that every company seeks to get. How can you attract a professional in a restaurant to a restaurant? A high salary for such a person is a rather weak motivation, as well as various benefits - for lunch, gas, mobile. A higher percentage of revenue is a powerful argument. However, the image of the company and the number of people the “salesperson" will be able to lure after themselves, forming their own customer base, also matter. Moreover, the organization must assess the risks that, attracting new customers, it may lose old ones.
Moreover, in reality, even the most tempting promotions, such as the position of head of department, are not so attractive. In fact, a good sales manager often seeks a more comfortable working environment than a promotion. It also takes into account the fact that the “salesman”, especially in Moscow catering companies, is a cash flow generator both for himself and for his organization.
