Caterer.com Hospitality Jobs Scraper

Scrape UK hospitality jobs from Caterer.com at scale: chef, restaurant, hotel, bar, and events roles. Search by keyword, location, and filters, or paste search URLs to paginate. Every job comes back with 35+ structured fields straight from the listing, and an optional detail pass adds the full description, GPS coordinates, structured address, employment type, valid-through date, and company profile.

Why this scraper

• 35+ fields per job from the listing page alone, no detail fetch required: title, parsed salary, employer, logo, location, posting source, skills, snippet, and more.
• Two ways to run: build a search from keyword + location + filters, or paste any Caterer.com search URL and walk it forward.
• Real server-side filters: job type, advertiser type (direct employer vs agency), minimum salary by period (year / day / hour), posted-within window, and sort order.
• Parsed salary: the free-text salary string is split into min, max, currency, and period (year / day / hour), including hourly rates common in hospitality.
• Optional full details: GPS lat/lng, structured address, full description, employment type, valid-through date, and company profile.
• Cost control built in: a residential request budget cap and a single clear result limit so a run never overspends.
• Send results straight into Notion, Linear, Airtable, or Apify via optional MCP connectors.

Send results into your apps (MCP connectors)

Optionally pipe results into the apps you already use. Authorize a connector once under Apify, Settings, Integrations, then select it in the input. Set notionParentPageUrl for Notion. Each connector receives a condensed, human-readable summary per item (title plus key fields), not the full JSON; the complete record always stays in the Apify dataset. Supported: Notion, Linear, Airtable, Apify.

Plan requirement

Caterer.com accepts Apify Residential with country GB most reliably, which is the prefilled default. Listing pages occasionally work on Datacenter but are frequently refused, and full job details (fetchDetails) always need Residential GB. Datacenter and non-GB residential are refused on job pages. Apify Residential is available on the Starter plan and above. On the free plan a run may return few or no results; set proxy.apifyProxyGroups to ["RESIDENTIAL"] with apifyProxyCountry "GB" after upgrading.
