Kitchen Front, we are looking for two new people with 40 - 50% workload each
from April 2025

Who are we?

We are the Zentralwäscherei association and operate a non-commercial culture and meeting space in District 5. These rooms are located on the ground floor of the former central laundry at Neue Hard 12. In these we want to create a non-profit space for meetings, art, culture and gastronomy.
You can find out more about us and our principles here: zentralwaescherei.space/principle

What do we want from you?
We are looking for reinforcements for our kitchen team! If you like working in a team, i.e. you like to share your knowledge and are also willing to learn, have a passion for cooking and want to work in a creative, collegial environment, you have come to the right place!

We are looking for someone who can work both independently and in a team-oriented manner. Cleanliness and hygiene in the kitchen are non-negotiable for us, so we discuss menus that we create together, food events and concepts that we set up 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 have the opportunity to contribute your ideas and continue to grow in an open, respectful team.

Your area of ​​​​operation

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

What can you expect?

You can look forward to fair working hours - no room hour and Sundays off! The early shifts run from 8:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m., the late shifts from 3:00 p.m. to 11:00 p.m. You can organize your shifts flexibly and independently in consultation with the team (the shift plans are set on the 20th of each month for the following month).
With us you have a large experimental field in which you can contribute your own ideas and implement daring concepts. Responsibility is shared - this means that you can also 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 €25 net/hour with a night shift allowance of 10%. Employment is on an hourly basis.
The induction begins as soon as possible and no later than April 1st. In addition, we offer you a pleasant break during our company holidays in August.

If you recognize yourself here and would like to get involved with us, then apply directly at bewerben@zentralwaescherei.space

We look forward to receiving your application!
