Catering Assistant jobs in Adelaide: MyGig isn't live here yet.
Adelaide hospitality clusters in the East End, Peel and Leigh Street laneways and the Rundle precinct, with Mad March compressing a year’s worth of trade into weeks. Kitchens and floors staff heavy casual hours through festival season, vintage dinners and the summer calendar.
Catering runs to a different clock than venues: early production shifts and event-day service, which suits people who want daytime hospitality hours. Typical requirements: food safety training where required.
