Sous Chef

Running or standing still, this dynamic in the kitchen is where you, as a sous chef, feel like home. And this is the kitchen of a large hotel with an event venue in Amsterdam. You ensure good and original recipes, satisfied guests and good hygiene. At Mövenpick we make moments, do you? Be limitless Responsibilities The kitchen opens, and it’s showtime. You gather your team, give a motivating pep talk, and ensure everyone’s ready to deliver excellence. You oversee the flow of the kitchen, ensuring all dishes meet our standards in both taste and presentation. You make sure that everything in the kitchen runs smoothly. You are also responsible for ensuring that all chefs have what they need. You order extra when needed. There is no limits to what you can do. In addition, you will be:

• A flying keeper. That means that during busy times you do not only overlook but jump in where it is needed.
• Responsible for the hygiene. You keep an eye on it and direct where necessary to keep everything clean and tidy.
• The leader that supervises that everyone is doing their tasks correctly.

Your new job is mainly during evening hours.
