Butchie’s Restaurant + Dish Play | Whitby, ON
This is not an events coordinator role.
This is a build it, run it, and make it profitable role.
We are creating a new position to turn multiple established spaces into fully programmed, food and beverage-driven destinations.
Every experience we create is rooted in hospitality, energy, and revenue — and we’re looking for someone who can think differently and push beyond the obvious.
The Platform
Butchie’s = high-volume, high-traffic restaurant with a loyal following
Butchie’s Backyard = 1+ acre outdoor space with the ability to host markets, festivals, and large-scale events
Dish Play = 10,000 sq foot purpose-built culinary and event studio
This is an already operating business with real traffic. The opportunity is in building and scaling what hasn’t been done yet.
What You’ll Own
This role is about creating and executing experiences that are built around food and beverage.
You will:
Concept and launch original, on-brand events (night markets, themed parties, backyard festivals, culinary pop-ups)
Bring out-of-the-box ideas and turn them into real, revenue-generating experiences
Program and activate Butchie’s Backyard with high-energy, high-volume events
Build and run cooking classes, private events, and corporate culinary experiences
Develop food and beverage formats that drive guest spend, flow, and experience
Own a full calendar across all spaces
You are responsible for turning ideas into profitable, repeatable programming.
Execution Matters
This is a hands-on role.
You will:
Plan, staff, and run events end-to-end
Be on-site and in control during execution
Manage vendors, rentals, setup, service, and breakdown
This is not about ideas alone.
This is about delivering consistently great events that make money.
Who You Are
You think beyond the obvious and bring fresh, creative ideas
You execute — not just ideate
You have real experience running events, not just planning them
You understand how food and beverage drives event success
You can move between creative concepting and operational execution
You are comfortable being measured on results and revenue
A background in catering, hospitality, or culinary environments is a strong asset.
Nights and weekends are part of this role. That’s when the business happens.
Compensation & Upside
Base: $60K–$80K
Uncapped earnings tied to performance
Revenue participation on events, classes, and concepts you build
Ownership over your programming and results
Top performers can exceed $100K+ as this grows.
