I’M LOOKING FOR…
WHO WE ARE
For over 30 years, Combined Caterers has been the engine behind the Southeast’s most iconic events. We don’t just "cater"—we orchestrate experiences that define a region. From fueling elite athletes at UNC Chapel Hill to executing high-stakes Fortune 50 galas and luxury NFL stadium suites, our reach is as diverse as the menus we create.
As part of our culinary team, you won’t be stuck in a repetitive kitchen with one menu. You’ll become part of an integrated powerhouse spanning Charlotte, Charleston, Chapel Hill and Raleigh. Whether you’re plating farm-to-table coastal cuisine in a historic Charleston venue or managing the high-volume precision of a professional sports season, we provide the ingredients for a career without limits.
Experience Our Diverse Portfolio of Markets:
Charlotte
The "Queen City" is where high-volume precision meets red-carpet luxury. It’s fast-paced, prestigious, and home to our most diverse portfolio. One day you’re executing 5-star service in a luxury Panthers suite, and the next you’re on the set of “Love is Blind” or a 1,000-guest social gala. Experience the diversity of the Uptown food scene. Whether it’s an intimate executive dinner or a massive philanthropic gala, Charlotte is where you master the culinary behind the cities biggest moments.
Charleston
Consistently voted one of the best food cities in the world. Historic, walkable, and deeply rooted in Southern hospitality. High-end weddings, farm-to-table ingredients, and incredible seafood. Charleston is known for hosting elegance, tradition, and world-class plating. Work in exclusive coastal venues and historic downtown sites where the "food scene" is the main attraction.
Raleigh
A fast-growing blend of tech, education, and southern charm. It’s the "Research Triangle" where innovation happens. Diverse menus that cater to the bright minds of the triangle and the bustling corporate growth of the Raleigh-Durham area. Experience a mix of high-volume corporate excellence and boutique social events in one of the fastest-growing regions in the country.
Chapel Hill
Iconic college town energy centered around elite competition and peak performance. This is where science meets the kitchen to fuel world-class competitors with performance nutrition and athletic catering. Be part of the UNC Athletics story. From the locker room to the stadium, you will be part of the team behind the athletes.
