Do you enjoy cooking, being creative and working with fresh ingredients? Then an apprenticeship in our company restaurant could be just right for you.

During your three-year apprenticeship, you will learn how dishes are planned, prepared and cooked. You will deal with purchasing, quality checks, storage and processing of food and develop a good understanding of workflows in a professional kitchen.

You will also learn important hygiene measures and accident prevention rules. A multi-week placement in a renowned hotel or restaurant business complements the practical part of your training.

Your working week has five days. We do not have shift work, and weekends and public holidays are free. Vocational school classes take place in blocks at the Staatliche Gewerbeschule für Gastronomie und Ernährung.

What you will learn with us

• You learn how food is selected, checked, stored and processed professionally.
• You plan work steps in the kitchen and prepare meals for our company restaurant.
• You further develop your creativity, practical skills and understanding of quality.
• You work closely with your team and gain insights into professional kitchen operations.

What you ideally bring

• A secondary school certificate or comparable school qualification
• Enjoyment in cooking and interest in food
• Practical skills and creativity
• A careful and reliable way of working
• Enjoyment in planning independently and working in a team

You do not meet every point 100%? No problem. What matters most to us is that you are motivated, ask questions and are eager to keep developing.

What you can look forward to

• Training in a company restaurant without shift work
• Free weekends and public holidays
• A team that supports you and helps you gain practical experience
• Varied tasks involving food, quality and creativity

Every day, each one of us contributes to HELM's success with competence, the highest expertise and unique service.
