About the position

As kitchen chef you will be an important part of the restaurant’s management team, but your daily life will primarily be close to the daily operations in the kitchen.

You are responsible for ensuring the kitchen works in practice – from preparation and cooking to quality, hygiene and coordination of the staff. You lead in the daily production and ensure that the team works efficiently and that guests receive the quality they expect from Luca.

The restaurant is open from 05:00 to 22:00. Therefore you can expect to be scheduled for shifts in the time window 04:00-23:00, where both opening and closing shifts are a natural part of the job.
