We are currently seeking an experienced, dynamic RESTAURANT AND CATERING MANAGER for our food and beverage operations at the The Mann Center for the Performing Arts in Philadelphia, PA

Originally founded as the summer home of the Philadelphia Orchestra, The Mann Center for the Performing Arts is the only outdoor cultural arts venue in the Philadelphia region and one of the largest of its kind in the nation. This unique open-air theater has hosted some of the world’s best-known artists and performances. Today, The Mann offers a range of arts programs like nowhere else in the area—from orchestra to opera, dance to drumming, pops and jazz to rock and roll. The Mann provides concert goers with more than 4,000 seats under cover in the pavilion and 10,000 general admission spaces under the stars on the lawn and terrace. There’s no better place to enjoy a wonderful evening of entertainment than at The Mann - surrounded by the sweetness of summer-night air.

The Restaurant and Catering Manager will be responsible for the planning, budgeting, and execution of catering functions while maintaining the highest standards of guest service, compliance, and presentation.  The Restaurant and Catering Manager will coordinate work assignments, and assist with the planning of menus and food utilization.  The position requires knowledge of principals and processes involved in high-volume banquet/catering planning, coordination, and execution.  This includes strategic planning, resource allocation, labor modeling, leadership techniques, and a working knowledge of food production methods.  Culinary expertise a plus.

Philadelphia is one of the world’s most dynamic destinations, where big city excitement meets hometown charm.  Philadelphia is the largest city in Pennsylvania and the sixth most populous city in the United States.  Famous as the birthplace of “life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness”, Philadelphia offers more than cobblestoned streets and historic landmarks.  Philadelphia is known as the “city of neighborhoods”.  It has more than 150 communities and areas of interest.  This city of neighborhoods is chock-full of cultural, culinary, artistic and ethnic treasures.   From the waterfront and historic parks to the Avenue of the Arts and the Ben Franklin Parkway museums, a wide assortment of treasures and attractions awaits.  Truly a wonderful place to live and work!
