Description
Can you do more than just your job? Then show us! 🔥
Do you love cooking, have your role down pat, and sometimes find yourself thinking, “Actually, I could take on a little more responsibility”?
Then we might have just the thing for you!
At the Evident Hotel Prägant4S in Bad Kleinkirchheim, we’re looking for a Chef de Partie who’s eager to work alongside our Executive Chef Christian and our small kitchen team to create something special on the plate.
We still do real cooking here. Fresh, creative, with high-quality regional products, and completely free of convenience food tricks. We love honest craftsmanship, good ideas, and people who think for themselves instead of just following instructions.
And the best part? With us, you don’t have to wait years for your chance. If you’re ready to take on responsibility, you’ll get the opportunity to do so.
Our guests enjoy creative 5-course menus of their choice, regional specialties, and moments of true indulgence. We’ve been honored with the HolidayCheck Award multiple times for this.
But don’t worry: We’d rather have satisfied guests than trophies!
Small. Personal. Special. That applies not only to our guests but also behind the scenes.
Tasks
- You’ll take independent responsibility for your station in the kitchen.
- Together with our head chef, Christian, you’ll plan and create our dishes and menus.
- You’ll contribute your own ideas—we actively encourage this!
- You’ll work with high-quality, fresh, and preferably regional ingredients.
- You’ll help organize and coordinate our kitchen operations.
- You’ll gradually take on additional responsibilities and stand in for our head chef as needed, following appropriate training.
- You’ll prioritize quality, cleanliness, and respectful teamwork.
And when things get hectic? Then we’ll keep a cool head together. After all, cooking should be fun!
