About the job

We are seeking a trained chef for a new chapter in the restaurant

Something exciting is happening at Hotel Odeon. We are in the process of establishing a new concept for our restaurant and creating a place where good food, presence and the love of craftsmanship will be the driving force. We have ambitions for what we are building and we are looking for a chef who wants to be involved from the very beginning. For us, it’s not only about what’s on the plate. It’s also about the people behind it, the pride in the craft and the joy of creating something guests want to come back for.

About the position

As a chef with us you will be an important part of the kitchen team that will help shape the restaurant's next chapter. You will join at a time when we are working with new ideas, menus and ways of doing things. Therefore you will have the opportunity to contribute with your professionalism, creativity and experience. We have a direction and clear ambitions. At the same time we believe that the best results are created together with the people who stand in the kitchen every day.

Your main tasks

  • Preparation and plating of dishes with a focus on good ingredients, flavor and quality
  • Participation in developing new menus and seasonal dishes
  • Contribute ideas and professional sparring as we develop our new restaurant concept
  • Ensure high and consistent quality, even during busy periods
  • Self-check, hygiene and tidying up
  • Close collaboration with both the kitchen and the restaurant team so our guests always have a good experience from start to finish

Who are you?

We are looking for a chef who is proud of their craft and willing to go the extra mile. You don’t need to have done it all before. The most important for us is that you have a solid professional foundation, take responsibility and want to develop yourself together with us.

We imagine that

  • You are a trained chef and have experience from the restaurant industry
  • You have respect for the raw materials and care about both taste and presentation
  • You work in a structured way and can maintain an overview when the pace increases
  • You take responsibility for your tasks and help your colleagues when needed
  • You have ideas and opinions about your craft and dare to share them
  • You contribute to a good atmosphere in the kitchen and know that respect and collaboration are as important as expertise
  • You are willing to work day shifts, evening shifts and weekend shifts

What can you expect from us?

You will become part of a kitchen team with ambitions and a desire to be proud of what we send to our guests. We are facing an exciting development of the restaurant and you will have the opportunity to help shape it from the start.

We believe that the best food is created when you also get along well with the people you work with. Therefore we emphasize a workday with integrity, professional sparring, room for humor and respect for each other, even when things are moving fast.

With us there should be room to share ideas, take responsibility and become more skilled. You can expect orderly employment terms in accordance with the applicable collective agreement between HORESTA and 3F.

The position is 37 hours per week with start in January 2027.

Are you keen to join?

We would really like to hear from you! We are not just looking for a chef to fill a spot in the duty roster. We are looking for a colleague who wants to be a part of what we are creating.
