• Completion of vocational training as a cook is required.
• Several years of experience in the restaurant and hospitality industry, ideally in a leadership role (chef de partie or sous chef).

• A strong commitment to freshness, hygiene, and attractive presentation.
• Very good German language skills (B1) to ensure smooth communication within the team and with other departments.
