Cook for a small university canteen at DTU in Lyngby – buffet, restaurant and room for your ideas

Would you like to become part of a small kitchen team where you cook for both buffet and restaurant – and where there is room for you to put your own mark on the menu?

Then you may be our new chef at DTU in Lyngby.

The daily life at DTU

We are a team of four who each day prepare food for 200-300 guests with a focus on vegetable-rich dishes, seasonal produce and organic products. The canteen is located close to DTU’s large food hall and offers both a buffet and a restaurant, where we serve the month’s 1-, 2- or 3-course menu – from modern reinterpretations of classic favorites to creative seasonal dishes.

The good guest experience is very important to us. We make an effort to get to know our guests and meet them with presence and personal service.

With us there is room for different personalities, and humor is an important ingredient in our close collaboration. Working days alternate between planning and high tempo, and we help each other to make everyday life succeed.

Your tasks

You will have a varied everyday life, where you among other things will

• Prepare salads, open sandwiches and hot dishes for the buffet
• Help plan menus with the season’s best ingredients and order goods
• Contribute to excellent guest experiences with service at eye level
• Minimize food waste and work with follow-up on the canteen’s documented organic percentage
• Work closely with the kitchen manager on new menus and the development of the canteen

Who are you?

You are a trained chef and preferably have experience from a canteen or a similar kitchen environment. You are curious, reliable and responsible, and you enjoy bringing your creativity into play in everyday life.

You also thrive in a smaller team where we work closely together, help each other and are happy to share ideas that can make both the food and the guest experience even better.
