Description
You’re good in the kitchen. You’re good at taking on responsibility. And you’d like to help shape our kitchen?
Families spend their days off at Waldpark Hochreiter—and our kitchen is always bustling. Schnitzel, burgers, and more are just as much a part of what we do as good craftsmanship, quality, and the joy of constantly trying something new.
We’re looking for a sous chef for our kitchen who can pitch in with day-to-day operations, keep everything running smoothly, and work with our head chef to further develop the kitchen.
And if you’re also interested in forest cuisine: all the better. Do game, mushrooms, herbs, and regional ingredients inspire you, and do you want to develop creative ideas using them? Then we’re especially looking forward to meeting you.
WHAT YOU BRING TO THE TABLE
You’re a trained chef with several years of experience in the restaurant industry. You work independently, are organized and reliable, and keep a clear overview even during peak hours.
You enjoy taking on responsibility, can clearly delegate tasks, and are able to give and receive feedback. And you don’t just like cooking from recipes—you also enjoy bringing new ideas to the table.
You enjoy working as part of a team and communicate confidently in German.

The Teichalm is beautiful, but it’s not right in the middle of town. A driver’s license and your own transportation are therefore advantageous.
