Position Overview
Radish is a groundbreaking corporate catering program, whose recipes are designed by some of the best chefs in the country, including Michelin-starred Bay Area chefs, Top Chef winners, and beloved local restaurants. Radish focuses specifically on employee meals, primarily individually packaged or plated meals served in offices, but also including grab-and-go, remote employee dining and other use cases.
The Account Manager is responsible for managing the account and running service at a location serving up to 250 guests per meal service, for breakfast, lunch and dinner. At this client location, all food is produced offsite, so the onsite team will not be responsible for meal prep - but will receive meal components daily and - once the kitchen is up and running - oversee their reheating, finishing and assembly in an onsite finishing kitchen, and at
client-facing stations. Most meals are served as fully-composed dishes from multiple stations each serving a
daily-changing menu.
The Account Manager's duties fall into three main categories: 1) service leadership, 2) event and special feature
planning, and 3) program administration. This position requires an exceptional level of passion, maturity, and commitment to hospitality. Management style is equally important as client and guest engagement style. Radish management is expected to lead by example and uses an instructive teaching style to empower and motivate their team to give their all on a daily basis; to provide an environment of respectful communication, and to help cultivate opportunities for advancement & growth, while providing exceptional hospitality to our guests and detail-oriented, proactive account management for our clients.
