We are looking for a chef (40-50%) with experience in a Gastro-Kitchen to start immediately
Who we are:
The association Zentralwäscherei is a non-commercial cultural meeting space in District 5, located on the ground floor of the former central laundry at Neue Hard 12. We want to create a non-profit space for encounters, art, culture and gastronomy. You can find out more about us and our principles here: zentralwaescherei.space/princinple
What you can expect:
Your area of responsibility will include the open kitchen in the Kleinwäscherei restaurant, which, together with the bar, forms the heart of the Zentralwäscherei. Here you will be working during both lunch and dinner service. You will also be jointly responsible for preparing meals for artists and staff and will be actively involved in menu planning and conceptualising food events. Seasonal planning is carried out jointly by the team. In addition, your responsibilities will include ordering and receiving goods and maintaining the space to ensure that everything runs smoothly in the kitchen. We cook exclusively vegan/vegetarian, seasonal, regional and organic food!
You can look forward to fair working hours – no closing time and Sundays off! The early shifts are from 8 a.m. to 3 p.m., the late shifts from 3 p.m. to 11 p.m. You can organise your shifts flexibly and independently in consultation with the team (shift schedules are finalised on the 20th of each month for the following month). We offer you a wide scope for experimentation, where you can contribute your own ideas and implement even daring concepts. Responsibility is shared, which means you can actively help shape and develop all aspects of the kitchen team. All of this takes place in a politically active environment and in a grassroots democratic collective with flat hierarchies and open structures. We all have a basic wage of 25CHF net/hour with a 10% night shift bonus. Employment is on an hourly basis.
_ What we expect from you:_
If you enjoy working in a team, are happy to share your knowledge and are willing to learn, have a passion for cooking and want to work in a creative, collegial environment, then you've come to the right place! We are looking for someone who can work both independently and as part of a team. Cleanliness and hygiene in the kitchen are non-negotiable for us, but we discuss menus as a team and put them together. It's important to us to work in a friendly, respectful manner and enjoy our flexible way of working. You should also be willing to take on responsibility and work in a collective, feminist environment. We value people who are creative, solution-oriented and enrich teamwork with a proactive feedback culture.
If you already have kitchen experience and would like to work in a young, dynamic company that values political and social engagement, then we look forward to hearing from you! With us, you will have the opportunity to contribute your ideas and continue to grow in an open, respectful team. Training will begin by arrangement. If you recognise yourself in this description and would like to join us, please apply directly at bewerben@zentralwaescherei.space
We look forward to receiving your application!
