Sous-chef in the kitchen / Sous Chef in the kitchen at Ismageriet Damhustorvet

Would you like to be Sous Chef in the kitchen at Ismageriet Damhustorvet? 🍦

At Ismageriet, we care a lot about ice cream. In fact, we care about the entire experience that comes with it. Because a great guest experience starts long before the ice cream is handed across the counter. It starts in the kitchen – with great ingredients, freshly made ice cream, high quality and a team that stays one step ahead.

That’s why we’re looking for a Sous Chef for our kitchen who wants to take responsibility for the craft, the quality and the positive energy throughout the shift.

What is the job about?

As Sous Chef, you’ll be the right hand of our Kitchen Manager while also being an active part of the daily production.

In other words, you’ll be making ice cream. Lots of ice cream. But also sorbets, marzipan, ice cream cakes, toppings, guf (our Danish marshmallow-style topping) and all the other elements that come together to create the experience our guests visit Ismageriet for.

When you’re on shift, you’re also the one keeping an overview. You help the team prioritise, step in when things change and find solutions when the day doesn’t go quite according to plan.

In short: you help make sure the kitchen runs smoothly – so our guests get the Ismageriet experience they came for.

Who are you?

You have experience working in a kitchen and thrive in a busy environment. We imagine you have around three years of relevant work experience from, for example, a pastry kitchen, café, restaurant or other food production environment.

Maybe you’re a trained chef or pastry chef. Maybe you learned your craft in a completely different way. What matters most to us isn’t the title on your CV, but that you:

• know your way around a professional kitchen and have an eye for quality
• take responsibility and get things done
• stay calm when there’s a lot going on
• find solutions when plans change
• enjoy taking the lead and helping your team succeed
• understand that the kitchen and the front-of-house team are one team – and that, ultimately, it’s all about our guests.

If you’ve previously had responsibility as a shift leader, team leader, Sous Chef or in a similar role, that’s a plus.

You don’t need to know how to make ice cream. We’ll teach you. If you know your way around a kitchen, are practical and hands-on, and are eager to learn, we’ll introduce you to the Ismageriet way of doing things.

What do you get from us?

You’ll get a full-time position with responsibility and the opportunity to become really skilled at a craft we’re proud of.

You’ll also get

• a competitive salary package including pension and health insurance
• your work schedule well in advance, so you can plan your life outside of work
• shifts between 7:00 am and 10:00 pm, including daytime, evening, weekend and public holiday shifts
• approximately half of your shifts in the evening
• every third weekend guaranteed off
• and, of course, unlimited ice cream 🍦

Want to be part of Ismageriet?

We’re looking for someone who enjoys both the craft of working in a kitchen and the feeling of creating something that makes other people happy. To us, a perfect day isn’t simply about ticking everything off the production list.

It’s when the kitchen runs smoothly, the team helps each other, the ice cream is spot on – and our guests walk out the door already wanting to come back.

Does that sound like you? Then we’d love to hear from you!
