Caterplus – More Than a Meal, It’s a Community
We’re looking for a friendly, capable individual to take the lead in running our much-loved community café.
At The Signals Cafe within Caterplus, we don’t just serve food - we create warm, welcoming spaces where the over-55 community can connect, share, and enjoy great company over delicious meals. Every dish is made with care, fresh ingredients, and a big helping of heart.
