Head Chef at The Social Bar & Bistro – Quality Hotel™ The Book
In spaces where printing presses once worked at full capacity, since June 1, 2026, we've been writing our own story. Welcome to Quality Hotel™ The Book – a modern tribute to the building's history where industrial heritage meets soft Scandinavian design.
As the day winds down, The Social Bar & Bistro becomes the hotel's natural heart. It's a place for heartfelt conversations, relaxation, and togetherness. We love bistro classics, but we also love surprising guests with an unexpected twist. Since The Social Bar & Bistro is our dedicated evening restaurant, this is where the magic happens when the sun sets and guests come to us for a fantastic dining experience!
We're now looking for you to take the lead in the kitchen and make The Social the obvious destination for dinner in the area.
As Head Chef with us, you are the engine of the kitchen. Since our restaurant is a dedicated evening establishment, your role is focused on planning and preparing during the day, then leading and delivering brilliant service during evening hours. You ensure our bistro classics maintain the highest standard and that every guest leaves us with an experience beyond the ordinary. Your day is dynamic – your main focus is on evening service, but during quieter periods you also support breakfast service to ensure top-quality dining throughout the day.
Your Responsibilities:
Dining Experience & Quality: You're responsible for executing and quality-assuring our centrally developed menus. Your task is to ensure every dish leaving the kitchen meets the highest standard, is correctly presented, and is true to our concept.
Evening Focus: You lead kitchen operations during our evening hours. Your main task is to ensure service runs seamlessly and every plate leaving the pass is a masterpiece, even during the most intense hours.
Leadership: You coach and inspire the kitchen team. You build a culture where energy and enthusiasm drive both daytime preparation and evening service delivery.
Budget & Operations: You have budget and profit responsibility. You optimize food costs and ensure we work efficiently, profitably, and sustainably through smart planning and good organization.
Quality & Safety: You ensure all laws and regulations regarding health, environment, and safety are followed to the letter.
Who Are You?
You're an experienced leader who thrives when the pace is high. You're an unpretentious team player who understands the dynamics of evening service and knows what it takes to perform when guest volume peaks.
You have previous experience in a leadership role in a kitchen (e.g., as Sous Chef or Head Chef).
You have a good understanding of kitchen economics and enjoy working with key metrics and margins.
You're comfortable working evenings and weekends, as that's when our restaurant is open and our guests visit us.
You're a clear and supportive communicator who helps your team grow and perform, even during busy evening services.
