What you will be doing?

When you are in the kitchen, everything clicks like clockwork. During the low season you'll primarily handle tasks on your own, while in the busier high season, you'll be part of a team of kitchen colleagues. You know how to motivate your colleagues, especially when it gets busy, so we can serve up amazing meals together. You'll handle the prep work (mise en place) and make sure we follow the HACCP rules. You've got a real love for food, and you'll whip up all sorts of treats - from cold bites to hot dishes and desserts.

Our menu is based on the RCN standards, but you'll also get to be creative and use local ingredients. We've got guidelines and a cookbook from RCN to help you out. And guess what? We regularly even have themed nights that you can dive into.

You're great at keeping things organized, even when things get crazy during peak times. Your skill for managing everything and keeping the kitchen peaceful is awesome. If you're ready to show off your cooking skills and combine independent work and leadership in the kitchen, we're excited to have you join us!
