Job description
We are growing and hiring for two new positions:
CO-CHEF LEAD and SALES DIRECTOR
Harvest & Revel is a full service event catering company based in Brooklyn, NY. We provide meals that are both elevated and approachable, indulgent and health-conscious. And with every detail- we curate creative culinary experiences to help facilitate refreshingly positive, artful, and satisfying events for all occasions. We make many of our own breads, syrups, pickles, jams, dressings, and sauces. And when we don't, we source from the artisanal producers that we believe are the most talented and ethical of New York.
We consciously step away from our culture's industrialized agriculture, over-processing, and fast food- and instead, work with organic and "slow" ingredients from local farms whenever possible. Creating and serving food that is ethical as well as delicious is at the core of our company.
We are a woman-owned, collaboratively-run company working out of a collaborative commercial kitchen space in Crown Heights- that is owned by another woman-owned catering company- where we share responsibilities and support each other, rather than competing with each other.
It is a kitchen in which everyone- from the dish washer to the chefs- is treated with warmth and respect. And where family meal is not just cheap food- it is the quality organic ingredients we feed our clients.
We work together as a team, inviting our staff to give feedback on our leadership, communication systems, and anything else they have ideas about improving. Rather than just show up to peel carrots or mince herbs every day without any deeper meaning, our staff contributes to creative processes such as designing menus, strategizing about new projects, developing recipes, and more.
We look forward to meeting you!
