Catering Division
Catering Recruitment
Recruit the leadership behind hospitality at volume

Roundtable's Catering division recruits for production kitchens and central production units (CPUs), contract catering, airline catering and event catering. We recruit across every function, from mid-senior management to C-level, for businesses where the standard is consistency at volume, with leadership profiles leaning towards operations, supply chain and compliance.

Market Context

Catering is a genuinely international segment, and Roundtable recruits for it across the EMEA region. Production kitchens and CPUs have grown alongside multi-brand restaurant groups and the scale of event catering that the major cities now demand. Contract catering remains an established market with consistent leadership needs, and the airlines invest heavily in their onboard food programmes. The talent layer is mobile across borders, with strong UK and European experience feeding into regional roles.

Our approach in catering recruitment

Catering leadership is judged on delivery: contracts retained, audits passed, margins held. We reference against those outcomes, draw on an international network, and give honest, consultative advice on the profile a business actually needs.
