Frequently asked questions
Is catering a good second job?
One of the best in the city. Shifts are scheduled weeks in advance, they cluster on weekends and evenings, and you can accept only the dates you want — which works well alongside studies or another job.
Does catering pay more than restaurant service?
The hourly rate is usually higher because most catering work is a flat rate rather than tip-dependent, commonly landing around $18 to $26 an hour. Gratuity is often built into the event contract and distributed to staff.
When is catering busiest in Montréal?
May through October for weddings and outdoor events, plus a heavy November-December corporate holiday run. Festival season also drives a large spike in event hospitality staffing across the city.
