Chef (m/f/d)

Summer / winter season

Österreich, Vorarlberg

Description

Do you love good food, high quality, and a team that sticks together? Do you enjoy cooking with high standards and want to be creative? Are you looking for a place where cooking is not a source of stress, but the heart of the business? Then you'll fit right in with us!

The Sonnenburg is a family-run gourmet and activity hotel in the Kleinwalsertal valley – pure, close to nature, and warm-hearted. Our cuisine is part of this feeling: honest, creative, regionally influenced, and at the same time, new ideas are important to us. For our guests, cuisine is an experience – for our team, it should be an environment in which they enjoy working.

Requirements

Your responsibilities

  • Overall responsibility for the kitchen, including organization, quality, hygiene, and cost-effectiveness
  • Development and implementation of our culinary line (menu planning, seasonality, regionality, creative accents)
  • Management, motivation, and further development of the kitchen team
  • Operational cooking and ensuring smooth day-to-day operations
  • Purchasing goods, calculating costs, cost control, supplier management, and warehouse organization (focus on high-quality, reliable partners)
  • Compliance with and monitoring of the highest HACCP standards as well as cleanliness and safety in the kitchen

     

  • What you bring
    • Completed training as a chef and several years of experience, ideally in a similar position
    • High quality standards, attention to detail, and a keen sense of taste and presentation
    • Leadership skills: you are clear, fair, engaging—and you roll up your sleeves and get stuck in
    • Organizational skills and economic thinking (cost of goods, calculation, processes)
    • Enthusiasm for regional products, seasonal cuisine, and creative developments
    • Team spirit, resilience, and a calm head—even when things get busy
    • Very good German language skills
