Brief Job Description

Catering Internship Program Overview

The Country Club of Buffalo is a family-oriented private club that prides itself on providing our Members with world-class service, amenities, and facilities. Established in 1889, CCB has a rich tradition while offering the full array of services one would expect from a modern private club. A day at CCB offers a chance to golf, play tennis, swim or shoot at our first-class shotgun range. Our dining rooms offer the opportunity to enjoy contemporary versions of classic dishes in a comfortable setting.

Catering Interns will touch on subjects such as event planning, management and forecasting, as well as daily operations in executing private events, and club events of all sizes. The internship is a paid employment and may act as a practicum position to deliver credits back to the college or university of choice. The CCB management team focuses on the proper training methods considered best for the Intern’s development. The early stages of hands on training are essential to the growth of the intern ability to take on assigned tasks in the future.

Training will begin with a tour of the Club and an explanation of each area. Once comfortable with the surroundings, the intern will go through the server training program. Following this the interns will work hands on by assisting the Catering Manager in overseeing various aspects of the Club’s daily operation. In addition to normal daily duties, the intern may be scheduled to assist with other food and beverage departments throughout the Club to gain experience. Areas of particular importance include a la carte dining and kitchen operations.

As club events are planned throughout the season, the intern will play a vital role contributing to the success of the occasions. Over time, the intern will be assigned increased responsibilities that come with being a team leader. Throughout the course of the summer, you will likely experience the planning and execution of weddings, showers, golf tournaments, pool parties and private events of all sizes. Styles of service will include a la carte, buffet, plated, stations and butler service.

Catering in private clubs is a wonderfully challenging and diverse business, which will not only frustrate and stress you at times, but also provide you with more rewarding experiences than you can imagine.  We can guarantee that this business will never bore you, and if it does you are at the wrong Club. Throughout this process we encourage you to keep a smile on your face and a positive attitude towards learning, if you do those two things we believe you will thoroughly enjoy this experience and gain a great deal from it.  Be proactive, be curious, ask questions, and get involved in the operations as much as possible. We wish you the best in your career and our goal is to set you up for future success!
