Renowned for our exquisite coffee drinks, hot chocolate, and fruit smoothies, we are committed to delivering a distinct and memorable culinary experience. Our passion lies in creating a brand recognized for its exceptional quality and dedication to customer satisfaction with every menu item. Located in the heart of Orlando, FL, Mecatos invites customers to enjoy a unique blend of tradition and innovation.

About the Role

We're looking for a passionate and self-driven Catering Sales & Brand Ambassador to take our existing catering program to the next level. This is a full-time, on-site role based in Orlando, FL — perfect for someone who thrives in a fast-paced environment, loves food, and has the drive to grow a business. You'll be the face of Mecatos Catering, responsible for expanding our client base, coordinating events, and delivering an outstanding experience — all while representing our brand with energy and authenticity.

This role is ideal for someone who is equally comfortable closing a corporate catering deal and ensure events runs seamlessly on-site.

We already have a strong foundation. Now we need the right person to take ownership, scale the operation, and eventually build a team around their success.

What You'll Do

• Prospect and develop new catering clients — corporates, event planners, schools, community organizations, and beyond

• Present and sell Mecatos' catering menu and packages to potential clients

• Manage the full sales cycle: outreach, proposals, booking, coordination, and follow-up

• Serve as the primary point of contact for clients from first conversation through event day

• Coordinate closely with the kitchen and operations team to ensure flawless execution

• Represent Mecatos at local networking events, markets, and community functions to build brand awareness

• Develop and maintain an organized pipeline of leads and bookings

• Provide feedback to leadership on client needs, market trends, and opportunities to scale the catering program

What We're Looking For

• 2+ years of experience in catering sales, food service, hospitality, or a related field

• A true self-starter who can take ownership and drive results independently

• Strong sales skills with a track record of meeting or exceeding goals

• Excellent communication, relationship-building, and organizational skills

• Comfortable wearing many hats — from sales calls to on-site event support

• Knowledge of Food & Beverage or catering operations is a strong plus

• Outgoing, energetic personality with a genuine passion for food and hospitality

• Degree in Hospitality Management, Business, or a related field is a plus (but not required)

Why Mecatos?

• Step into a role with an established catering foundation and real room to grow

• Be the face of a unique, authentic Colombian food & café concept in Orlando

• Competitive base salary + commission on sales

• A passionate, supportive team culture with a clear path to building and leading your own catering team

• Your success directly shapes the future of the catering division

If you're entrepreneurial, food-passionate, and ready to make your mark — we want to hear from you.
Apply today and help us bring Mecatos to every table in Orlando!
