Description

Playing second fiddle? Not here. More like second pan! 🔥

You can cook. You love good food. And you’re not in the mood for kitchen drama? Then we should get to know each other!

At the Evident Hotel Prägant ****S in Bad Kleinkirchheim, we’re looking for a sous chef who, together with our executive chef Christian and our team, will create moments of culinary bliss.

We still cook the real deal here. With fresh, regional ingredients, a healthy dose of passion, and absolutely no convenience food tricks.

We love authentic craftsmanship, creative ideas, and people who can still laugh even when things get heated in the kitchen.

Our guests enjoy creative 5-course menus of their choice, regional specialties, and authentic Carinthian culinary delights. For this, we’ve already been honored multiple times with the HolidayCheck Award.

But don’t worry: We’d rather collect satisfied guests than trophies!

Small. Personal. Special. That applies not only to our guests but just as much to our team.

Does this sound like your kind of kitchen? Then read on!

Tasks

  • Together with our head chef, Christian, you’ll ensure that our guests are treated to a culinary delight.
  • You’ll take on responsibility in the kitchen and stand in for the head chef when needed.
  • You’ll contribute your own ideas to our menus and dishes.
  • You’ll work with high-quality ingredients, preferably regional and seasonal ones.
  • You’ll assist with inventory management, quality control, and kitchen organization.
  • You’ll ensure cleanliness, hygiene, and smooth operations.
  • And most importantly: You’ll work with us to make sure the atmosphere stays as great as the food! 😉

Requirements

What should you bring to the table?

Have you completed your culinary training, gained a few years of kitchen experience, and are now looking to take on more responsibility? Perfect!

Maybe you’re already a sous chef. Or maybe you’re a really good chef de partie who’s ready for the next step.

What matters to us:

  • You love good food and the art of cooking.
  • You work independently, neatly, and in an organized manner.
  • You have an eye for quality and beautiful presentation.
  • You’re creative, reliable, and a true team player.
  • You can take on responsibility without immediately acting like a kitchen dictator. 😉
  • You enjoy regional ingredients and fresh cuisine.

And most importantly: You’re a good fit for us as a person. Because a great kitchen team needs more than just good cooks!
