About the job

Would you like a daily routine where you light up the stove, taste the food, bake bread and meet the guests at the buffet?

Become part of a small team where good craftsmanship, close collaboration and good ideas are standard ingredients in the kitchen.

A bright canteen with both lunch and evening service

Our canteen is located on the ground floor with plenty of daylight. Every day we serve lunch for about 140-180 happy guests, while around 40 guests dine with us in the evening. Many guests have been in the house for a long time and look forward to the meal and an informal chat with us in the kitchen.

Service takes place both from the hot counter and out at the buffet. This means that you not only stand behind the pots, but also meet the guests and help make the meal a good break in the workday.

A versatile daily life with cooking at the center

As a cook you become part of the entire kitchen operation. The vast majority of the time is spent on cooking and service, while guest hospitality only fills a little. You will among other things:

  • Prepare both hot and cold dishes as well as salads
  • Bake bread and pastries
  • Taste everything we make and ensure a high quality
  • Meet the guests with presence and good service
  • Take part in daily cleaning and help with the dishwashing when needed

In a small kitchen we depend on each other. Therefore everyone helps to get both big and small tasks well in hand. If there are parts of the work you haven't tried before, we are very happy to teach you.

A small team with close collaboration

You will become part of a team with Kitchen Manager Kristian, Sous-Chef Nina and three other colleagues. Here the path from idea to plate is short, and you have the opportunity to put your personal mark on both the food and daily life in close collaboration with the head chef.

Working hours

The position is 37 hours per week with fixed hours and no overtime. You join a 3-week rotation with the other two cooks:

  • Day shifts: Monday-Thursday 06:30-14:30 and Friday 06:30-14:00
  • Evening shifts: Monday-Thursday 13:00-21:00 and Friday 13:15-20:45 (every 3 weeks)

We are looking for you who

  • Is a trained cook or gastronome
  • Can work independently and take responsibility for your tasks
  • Works in a structured way with an eye for details
  • Has a strong service instinct and thrives in direct contact with guests
  • Understands and speaks Danish

What you can look forward to

  • Great influence on daily life and room to bring your ideas and culinary skills into play
  • Professional development through continuing education and sparring on one of Denmark's largest catering contracts
  • A team that supports each other in a shared effort and good transport options right at the door
  • Good employment terms according to the collective agreement with 11% employer-paid pension, 10% optional account, health scheme and employee discounts
