What we expect from you
If you enjoy working in a team, are willing to share your knowledge and 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 the menus we create together as a team. 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, think in a solution-oriented way and enrich the work in the team 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 commitment, 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.

Your area of responsibility
Your area of responsibility includes the open kitchen in the Kleinwäscherei restaurant, which together with the bar forms the heart of the Zentralwäscherei, where you will be involved in both lunch and dinner service. You will also be jointly responsible for preparing the artists' and employees' meals and actively participate in the menu design and conceptualization of foodevents. Seasonal planning is planned and carried out together as a team.
You will also be responsible for ordering and receiving goods and maintaining the warehouse to ensure that everything runs smoothly in the kitchen. We only cook vegan/vegetarian, seasonal, regional and organic food!

What can you expect?
You can look forward to fair working hours - no room hours and Sundays off! The early shifts run from 08:00 - 15:00, the late shifts from 15:00 - 23:00. You can organize your shifts flexibly and independently in consultation with the team (the shift schedules are fixed on the 20th of each month for the following month).
With us, you have a wide scope for experimentation, where you can contribute your own ideas and also implement daring concepts. Responsibility is shared, which means you can actively help shape and develop all aspects of the kitchen team. This all happens in a politically active environment and in a basically democratically collective with flat hierarchies and open structures.
We all have a basic wage of 25,- net/h with a night supplement of 10%. Employment is on an hourly basis.

We look forward to receiving your application
Training begins by arrangement. We also offer a pleasant break during our company vacation in August.
