Job description

It's almost noon on Friday and the orders are coming in. Schnitzel, goulash, some Kassler, and someone wants soup, too. The kitchen is small, the team is close-knit, and the rhythm is just what you were looking for. No one here stands with tweezers placing microgreens on a slate. The food is fair, the portions are decent, and guests leave satisfied and happy. That's the job.

This role is in a German-speaking kitchen (schnitzel, salads, hamburger, pizza), from May to the end of September. This does not require experience but does require an affinity for cooking. 🍳

The minimum commitment is four weeks, which makes this really accessible if you cannot commit to a full season. You can start from May. The kitchen is in a German-speaking country, which means the cultural immersion is real, the food culture is deep, and you pick up more language than you expect just by being there every day.

The ability to work cleanly and efficiently under service truck in a small team
Basic knowledge of kitchen hygiene and food safety standards
Availability starting in May for a minimum of four weeks, with flexibility in start date and duration

Keeping quality and presentation of dishes up to menu level
Helping with kitchen preparation, inventory management and keeping the work area clean and organized
