Who We Are
HUNGRY is revolutionizing workplace dining with an unwavering commitment to obsessive hospitality and flawless execution. Founded in 2016 by entrepreneurs Eman Pahlavani and Jeff Grass, HUNGRY connects corporate offices in over 30 cities across the United States and Canada with top-tier chefs and local restaurants to deliver extraordinary culinary experiences. From large-format catering and memorable events to individually packaged group meals, snacks, and pantry solutions, HUNGRY ensures every detail is thoughtfully handled to prioritize quality and convenience. Rooted in a mission of social responsibility, HUNGRY fosters local economic growth while embracing eco-friendly practices — donating one meal for every two purchased, with more than 3 million meals donated to date.
The Role
The Operations Manager owns day-to-day execution of HUNGRY’s catering, delivery, and event operations in an assigned market. This role drives the logistics behind every order and event, coordinates the local network of Captains, and partners closely with Sales and Food Partner Management to make sure every client meal or event lands exactly as promised.
Most Captains engage with HUNGRY as independent contractors rather than direct employees, though this varies by client and account needs. In addition to planning and coordinating that contractor network, the Operations Manager leads and manages all direct HUNGRY employees supporting the market — including Hub Operators, onsite General Managers, and Hospitality Associates — with full people-management responsibility for hiring, coaching, and performance.
The Operations Manager owns hub readiness personally, along with the market’s administrative operations (time and attendance, expense management, purchasing and receiving, and inventory reporting).
The right person is organized, detail-oriented, proactive, and energized by solving problems in real time.
