Catering Jobs on the French Riviera : Work with Pavillon Traiteur
Looking for a catering job on the French Riviera, in the kitchen, in logistics, front of house or in sales? Pavillon Traiteur, a high-end event caterer and family business since 1999, is hiring for permanent positions, extra (on-call) work, internships and apprenticeships. We have around fifty full-time employees, and up to 200 people on the ground with our extras during peak periods. Our teams work from Monaco to Mandelieu, at conferences, gala dinners, weddings and major sporting events.
Why choose a catering job at Pavillon Traiteur?
work that doesn't stop with the summer
On the French Riviera, many restaurant jobs are seasonal: they peak in July and August, then disappear. With us, it's the other way round. Our clients are mainly businesses: conferences, trade shows, seminars and gala evenings. Our busiest period therefore runs from September to June.
For an extra, it's the chance to work on the French Riviera through the winter, alongside a summer season. For a permanent employee, it means steady work all year round.
events out of the ordinary
Working at Pavillon Traiteur means being a part of unforgettable events: conferences at the Palais des Festivals in Cannes, receptions at the Grimaldi Forum in Monaco or at OcéaNice, the Monaco Grand Prix, the Monte-Carlo Masters tennis tournament, and weddings in châteaux and villas across the Riviera. On the rooftop of the Palais des Festivals, for example, our teams served a finger buffet to 2,220 guests.
One group, many trades, several venues
Pavillon Traiteur is part of Groupe Pavillon, which brings together several brands. Depending on the season and your role, your assignements may take you to:
Le Masters restaurant;
OGC Nice football matches;
Trade shows in Cannes with Pavillon Gourmet, our on-stand catering service;
La Bastide de Tourtour, the group's hotel in the Var, for hands-on hospitality experience.
This variety lets you discover many sides of the trade and build your experience far faster than in a single business.
high standards that help you grow
We won't pretend otherwise, our work demands rigour and adaptability. There is no second chance at an event for 2,000 guests. That is also what makes you grow. Our teams work alongside Chef Philippe Joannès, Meilleur Ouvrier de France (France's highest craftsmanship award), in our production kitchen in Mouans-Sartoux. Pavillon Traiteur is also ISO 20121 certified, the international standard for sustainable event management.
A contract to suit every path
