About Rays Chicken

At Rays Chicken, we take fried chicken seriously. We make extra-crispy, buttermilk-brined fried chicken seasoned with our proprietary secret spice mix, serving the vibrant, packed crowd at the popular neighborhood spot Gamma Bar in Copenhagen Nordvest.

We are currently laying the groundwork for exciting future growth, and we are looking for a dedicated chef who wants to be an integral part of that journey.

The Role

We are seeking an experienced and dependable kitchen professional who can take charge of daily kitchen operations, maintain high standards of quality, and keep a cool head during busy periods.

On slower early-week shifts, you will have full autonomy to prep and run the kitchen independently. On busier nights, you will lead the service and direct kitchen support staff.

Key Responsibilities

• Food Prep & Service: Daily mise en place, cooking, frying, plating, and ensuring high food quality.
• Independent Shifts: Running kitchen operations solo during early-week shifts.
• Team Leadership: Scheduling, guiding, and overseeing kitchen helpers and dishwashers.
• Stock & Orders: Managing inventory, placing orders, receiving deliveries, and liaising with daily suppliers.
• Hygiene & Safety: Keeping kitchen systems organized and strictly upholding Danish food safety and sanitation standards.
• Digital Orders: Operating takeaway and online delivery platforms efficiently.
• Menu Input (Bonus): We are actively looking to develop our menu. While not a strict requirement, an interest in recipe testing and creative input is a big plus!

What We Are Looking For

• Experience: Minimum 3 years of professional kitchen experience.
• Independence: Confident working solo without direct supervision, with strong decision-making skills.
• Pace & Mindset: Highly structured, organized, and genuinely energized by working fast and beating the clock during rush hours.
• Stamina: Comfortable working full shifts on your feet.
• Availability: Ready and available to work evenings and weekends.
• Communication: Strong communication skills in English (Danish is an appreciated bonus).
• Passion: A true love for fried chicken and high-quality comfort food.

What We Offer

• Hourly wage between 165 and 185 DKK/hour , commensurate with experience.
• A relaxed, community-driven atmosphere at Gamma Bar in creative Nordvest.
• Opportunity to shape operational routines and influence future menu offerings as the concept expands.
