Reception & Administrative Coordinator

Company Overview The Butcher Shoppe (TBS) is one of the largest independent meat processors in Canada. Priding itself on carrying only the finest quality meats, our team of artisanal butchers converts fresh meat to custom specifications, doing things the 'old fashioned way'. This ensures that the demands of our discerning high-profile customers are met, including restaurants, hotels, event venues, casinos and other foodservice establishments, and now consumers directly through TBS Direct and our full-service onsite retail store. From our Etobicoke facility we process approximately 100,000 lbs of meat a day and fulfill over 1,000 orders a day, six days a week. Deliveries are made using a fleet of 60 company trucks as well as multiple third-party transport providers, and our supply chain spans five continents. We are investing behind that growth: a facility expansion that will take our site to close to 100,000 square feet, and a new SAP S/4HANA ERP that will change how we take, make and deliver every order. Our people-first philosophy has provided a strong foundation for over 40 years of steady growth.
