Waiter/Sous-chef sought for Hotel Viking

Are you ready to take responsibility – for the guests, the operations and the team?

Are you ready to take responsibility – for the guests, the operations and the team?

We are looking for a sous-chef for the restaurant, who would like to become an important part of the management in our restaurant.

You will become a central person in the daily operation and will work closely with our restaurant manager to ensure that the restaurant runs smoothly, both when there are 20 guests and when the house is full.

You should enjoy taking responsibility, creating structure and helping people succeed. At the same time you should be close to the guests and lead on the floor.

In short: You should be able to lead, organize and serve.

Your role

As sous-chef in the restaurant you will be the restaurant manager’s right hand and share responsibility for the daily operation.

Your primary tasks will include, among others

• Shared responsibility for the daily operation of the restaurant together with the restaurant manager
• Staff responsibility and daily leadership of the restaurant’s employees
• Planning and coordination of shifts and the daily staffing
• Ensure structure, quality and flow in the restaurant
• Be a visible and present leader on the floor
• Training and introduction of new employees
• Follow up on service, routines and standards
• Stock ordering and follow-up on inventory and consumption
• Collaboration with the kitchen on operations, quality and guest experiences
• Cross-department collaboration within the hotel
• Contribute to upselling and optimization of the restaurant’s turnover
• Handle guests, questions and challenges, even when pace is high
• Be involved in developing the restaurant and our way of working

You will thus have a role where no day is exactly the same, and where you both need to think a few steps ahead and be present in what is happening right now. Hotel Viking is a living house and the restaurant is an important part of our overall guest experience.

We are open 365 days a year, and therefore the job requires flexibility, responsibility and the ability to plan well.

We also believe that a good workplace should work for both guests and employees. Therefore we work with structure, clear planning and strong collaboration across the house.

Who are you?

We imagine that you

• Have experience as a waiter and preferably experience with responsibility or leadership
• Want to develop yourself as a leader
• Are structured and pay attention to details
• Can keep an overview when it’s busy
• Are good at planning and prioritizing
• Can make decisions and follow them through
• Are clear and proper in your communication
• Can motivate and engage your colleagues
• Understand that good leadership is about people and results
• Have a natural interest in sales and upselling
• Are service-minded and have the guest in focus
• Have a desire to collaborate with colleagues across the house

The most important thing is not whether you already hold the title of sous-chef.

The most important thing is that you have the desire and the ability to take responsibility.

Maybe you are the skilled waiter who is now ready to take the next step. Maybe you already have experience as sous-chef or team leader.

Whatever the case, we would like to hear from you.

Part of something bigger

At Hotel Viking we do not work in separate silos.

The restaurant works together with reception, housekeeping, spa, kitchen, conference and the rest of the house. Therefore you will also become an important player in cross-functional collaboration.

We believe that the guest does not experience departments; the guest experiences one Hotel Viking.

Therefore we also expect that you want to help across, take responsibility and contribute to the overall experience.

What do you get?

• A secure start, as we focus on a good onboarding
• An exciting full-time position with the possibility to develop as a leader
• A central role in the restaurant’s daily operation
• Close collaboration with the restaurant manager and the hotel’s other managers
• Opportunity to make your mark on the restaurant
• Salary based on qualifications
• Collective agreement
• Opportunity for courses, development and professional sparring
• A workplace with a fast pace, high spirits and room for good ideas
• A team where we help each other and lift together

Is it you?

If you can see yourself in the role of the one who leads on the floor, creates structure behind the scenes and gets people to function together, we would love to hear from you.
