- Coordinate with and support the kitchen lead.
- Prepare fresh, seasonal dishes for the restaurant service.
- Work confidently at your assigned station.
- Stay closely aligned with service staff and the wider team to ensure smooth operations.
- Prepare, set up, and oversee buffets for events.
- Keep processes structured even when serving larger guest groups.
Requirements
- Completed training as a chef/cook or several years of relevant professional experience.
- Experience working as a solo cook is a strong advantage.
- Strong passion for food and a high standard of quality.
- Structured and independent way of working.
- Team-oriented mindset with a sense of responsibility and good oversight.
- Ability to stay calm and perform well under pressure.
- Reliability, initiative, and careful working habits.
