<u>What we are looking for</u>
If you enjoy working in a team, are happy to share your knowledge and are willing to learn, have a passion for cooking and would like 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 together. You should have 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 place 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.
<u>Your area of responsibility</u>
Your area of responsibility includes 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 conceptualizing food events. Seasonal planning is done jointly by the team.
In addition, your responsibilities will include ordering and receiving goods and maintaining the warehouse to ensure that everything runs smoothly in the kitchen. We cook only vegan/vegetarian, seasonal, regional, and organic food!
What can you expect?
You can look forward to fair working hours—no curfew and Sundays off! Early shifts are from 8 a.m. to 3 p.m., and late shifts are from 3 p.m. to 11 p.m. You can organize your shifts flexibly and independently in consultation with the team (shift schedules are finalized on the 20th of each month for the following month).
We offer you a large field of experimentation where you can contribute your own ideas and implement even daring concepts. Responsibility is shared—this 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 base salary of CHF 25 net/hour with a 10% night shift bonus. Employment is on an hourly basis.
We look forward to receiving your application.
Training will begin by arrangement. We also offer a pleasant break during our vacation in August.
