Catering & Sandwich Production SpecialistAbout Nooners
For nearly 40 years, Nooners has been one of London's favourite destinations for fresh, homemade-style catering and lunches. We are a busy, high-volume catering kitchen specializing in corporate catering, business lunches, sandwich trays, wraps, lunch boxes, and take-home meals.
We're known for quality, consistency, presentation, and reliability — the four pillars of the Nooners catering experience.
Position Overview – Catering & Sandwich Production Specialist
This role centers around a production-focused workflow:
Catering order received → organize production → prepare sandwiches, wraps and trays → verify every order → complete → repeat.
You'll work with sandwich trays, wraps, lunch boxes, fruit trays, vegetable trays, dessert trays and other catering orders in a steady, high-volume production environment. Strong organization, attention to detail, consistency, and time management are essential to ensure every order leaves complete, accurate, professionally presented, and on time.
If you enjoy staying busy, working efficiently, and producing consistently high-quality food, this role is a great fit.
Who Thrives in This Role
This job is ideal for someone who:
- Enjoys a fast-paced production environment.
- Takes pride in producing consistent, professional-quality food.
- Works efficiently without sacrificing quality or presentation.
- Can organize multiple catering orders while maintaining production flow.
- Pays close attention to detail and accuracy.
- Works well independently AND within a small team.
- Maintains a clean, organized workstation throughout the day.
- Takes pride in consistency, cleanliness, and presentation.
- Enjoys steady daytime hours and a predictable Monday–Friday schedule.
⭐ This Role Is Not Suitable For:
Because this is a busy, high-volume catering production environment with continuous production flow and multiple customer orders being prepared simultaneously, this position requires strong organization, consistency, attention to detail, production pace, and the ability to maintain quality while meeting customer deadlines.
For that reason, this role is not a good fit for applicants who:
- Have only worked in very slow-paced cafés, delis, or low-volume food preparation environments.
- Come from button-based, automated, or pre-built food environments with minimal real preparation.
- Have difficulty learning quickly or adapting as production volumes and priorities change throughout the day.
- Prefer to focus on one task at a time instead of managing multiple catering orders and staying aware of production flow.
- Become overwhelmed during steady or busy production periods.
- Need constant direction, reminders, or step-by-step supervision to stay on pace.
- Have trouble managing time, speed, and multiple responsibilities simultaneously.
- Lack the situational awareness required to maintain production flow, restock proactively, identify missing items, and ensure catering orders are complete, accurate, and ready on time.
This role requires someone who consistently brings strong organizational skills, attention to detail, time management, reliability, consistency, good judgment, and the ability to maintain quality while producing large catering orders under production deadlines.
Key Responsibilities
- Prepare deli-style sandwiches, wraps, lunch boxes, and catering trays to Nooners standards.
- Organize and complete multiple catering orders while meeting production schedules and customer deadlines.
- Ensure every catering order is complete, accurate, and professionally presented before leaving the kitchen.
- Maintain a clean, stocked, and organized production area.
- Restock ingredients and supplies proactively throughout the day.
- Assist with production planning to maintain smooth workflow.
- Follow all food safety and sanitation procedures.
- Work independently with confidence while supporting a small, fast-moving team.
Qualifications Required
- 3–5 years of food preparation experience in a catering kitchen, deli, sandwich production, bakery, café, commissary kitchen, or similar high-volume food production environment.
- Strong organizational skills and attention to detail.
- Strong time-management skills — able to stay ahead of production and maintain pace without reminders.
- Strong multitasking ability — comfortable managing multiple catering orders simultaneously.
- Consistent pace and a reliable work ethic throughout the production day.
- Ability to work independently AND as part of a small, fast-moving team.
- Reliable, punctual, and professional.
- Food Handler Certification (or willingness to obtain).
Preferred
- Experience producing high-volume catering orders.
