About the Job
Blue Star Catering is a Detroit-based corporate caterer with over 22 years in business. We're rebuilding operations and looking for a hands-on chef to help relaunch and run our kitchen out of Royal Oak.
This is not a title-only role — you’ll be in the kitchen and on the job: prepping, cooking, plating, shopping, cleaning, managing inventory, and helping scale the team as we grow.

Schedule & Pay
- Starting Full-time (25-45 hours/week)
- Early start times as needed (based on events/client needs)
- No night work
- Occasional Saturday event (rare, corporate clients only)
Compensation: $25–$32 per hour depending on experience

Perks & Breaks
- Two weeks paid winter break (after holiday season)
- Two weeks paid summer break (around July 4)
- Closed on all major holidays
- No late nights
- Weekday-focused schedule

What We’re Looking For
- Hands-on chef who can lead by doing
- Strong kitchen management, prep, and consistency skills
- High attention to detail and presentation
- Comfortable with all aspects: cooking, ordering, cleanup, team leadership
- Reliable, punctual, clean, and focused
- Open to growing with the company
- Bonus if you bring sales experience or existing clients

Additional Notes
- No health or retirement benefits yet — but we are building toward it
- Open to discussing individual needs or flexibility in 1-on-1 conversations
- This is a lifestyle-friendly chef role for someone ready to build and lead

TO APPLY:
Send a private message with a short intro and your experience. Resumes are welcome, but not required to start a conversation.
