Canuel Caterers was started over 30 years ago by two entrepreneurial brothers with the ambitions of starting up a company that would rival other large, multi-national food service providers in Canada. Today we have over 45+ school accounts combined in the Lower Mainland and the Interior of British Columbia, in addition to multiple corporate accounts in recreational centers, and corporate buildings.
We are currently hiring a General Manager to oversee our busy café located in the Poirier Sports and Leisure Centre, and five seasonal park concessions in Coquitlam.
The café is fully licensed and operates seven days a week. We also run the concession in the 2000 seat arena located in the centre which gets utilized by the local lacrosse and hockey teams. Along with the day-to-day operations, Ice Water Café also sees some catering orders, and large tournaments that come through on weekends.
We are looking for someone to take over the operations to ensure the café and concessions are running successfully. The candidate must be highly organized, with restaurant, customer service and team leading experience.
In addition to the Cafe, the General Manager would be responsible for our five seasonal park concessions located in Coquitlam and Pitt Meadows.
