Simply put, the ezCater Menu Team is responsible for transcribing & reviewing all of the great menus on our site. We’re a group of tech-obsessed foodies who move fast & also know how to beautifully define kimchi & tahini on the fly. We’re driven & dedicated to bringing ezCater menus to the next level of excellence (and also love a good debate about the spiciest hot sauce while we’re doing it).

Hungry for change: If something isn’t working, we fix it. And then we fix it again.
A circus-level juggler: You’re comfortable with a high-volume list of varied tasks and prioritizing them feels like second nature to you.

Driven towards excellence: We’ll expect you to consistently meet or exceed expectations on quantity & quality performance objectives.
A team player: You’ll work with teams across our department and will need to build relationships with internal stakeholders to ensure success for all parties.
