Caterer Job Scraper

What does Caterer Jobs Scraper do?

Caterer Jobs Scraper collects hospitality and catering job listings from Caterer.com and returns them as structured job data. Search by role and location, provide a direct Caterer.com jobs URL, or limit results to recent postings. Each dataset item can include the job title, employer, location, salary, posting dates, description, company details, and source URL.

This Caterer.com job scraper is useful for recruiters, staffing agencies, job market researchers, hiring teams, and publishers that need repeatable hospitality job data for sourcing, salary research, regional analysis, lead generation, or job-alert workflows. Results can be downloaded from Apify in JSON, CSV, Excel, XML, and other supported formats.

How to scrape Caterer.com jobs

1. Open Caterer Jobs Scraper in Apify Console.
2. Enter a job keyword and location, or provide a direct startUrl.
3. Set results_wanted, max_pages, and an optional postedWithin filter.
4. Run the Actor and review the dataset preview.
5. Download the results or connect the dataset to your recruitment workflow.

For difficult or unstable access, enable an Apify residential proxy and select the United Kingdom as the proxy country when appropriate. Proxy settings are optional inputs, but a UK residential proxy can improve reliability for Caterer.com collection.

Input Parameters

Parameter	Type	Required	Default	Description

Usage Examples

Basic keyword and location search

Collect chef jobs in London using the packaged result and page limits:

{
  "keyword": "chef",
  "location": "london",
  "results_wanted": 20,
  "max_pages": 2
}

Start from a direct Caterer.com URL

Use a saved search URL when you want to repeat the same collection view:

{
  "startUrl": "https://www.caterer.com/jobs/chef/in-london",
  "results_wanted": 50,
  "max_pages": 5
}

Filter recent hospitality jobs

Collect restaurant manager roles posted within the last 7 days:

{
  "keyword": "restaurant manager",
  "location": "manchester",
  "postedWithin": "7d",
  "results_wanted": 100,
  "max_pages": 10
}

Use a UK residential proxy

Add proxy settings when direct access is blocked or inconsistent:

{
  "keyword": "hotel manager",
  "location": "birmingham",
  "results_wanted": 50,
  "max_pages": 5,
  "proxyConfiguration": {
    "useApifyProxy": true,
    "apifyProxyGroups": ["RESIDENTIAL"],
    "apifyProxyCountry": "GB"
  }
}

Tips for Best Results

• Use focused phrases such as chef, sous chef, pastry chef, restaurant manager, or hotel general manager.
• Add a location to reduce unrelated listings and make regional comparisons easier.
• Start with a small results_wanted value to confirm the search and output fields before scaling up.
• Use postedWithin for fresh-job alerts and recurring recruitment monitoring.
• Set max_pages high enough to reach the requested number of jobs, while keeping runs focused.
• Use a direct startUrl for a repeatable saved-search workflow.
• Check the source listing when salary, postcode, company details, or descriptions are missing. Those fields depend on what Caterer.com publishes.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I scrape Caterer.com jobs without entering a keyword?

Yes. Provide a direct startUrl, or leave the keyword and location empty to use the general Caterer.com jobs page. The packaged defaults are chef and london.

Can I collect only recent Caterer.com jobs?

Yes. Set postedWithin to 24h, 7d, or 30d to keep listings from the selected time window when a posting date can be identified.

Does the output include job descriptions?

Yes. The dataset can include both description_text for plain text processing and description_html for formatted display.

Can I collect more than one result page?

Yes. Set max_pages to control how many Caterer.com result pages are processed. The Actor stops when it reaches the requested result limit or the final available page.

Why is salary or another field missing?

Some Caterer.com listings do not publish salary, postcode, company details, or a complete description. Missing values reflect the source listing and do not necessarily indicate a failed run.

Can I schedule recurring job searches?

Yes. Use Apify Schedules to run the Actor hourly, daily, weekly, or on a custom schedule for job monitoring and alerts.

Is it legal to scrape Caterer.com?
