Do you want to lead the daily operations in the kitchen – and create food that truly makes a difference!

As a sous-chef at Livet, you will be the kitchen master's closest partner and a key person in the daily production. You will lead the team closely, ensure flavor and structure, and develop modern, sustainable dishes that energize many – every day. Here you will find pace, responsibility, and great opportunities to influence the menu, working methods, and culture in a kitchen with high ambitions and a warm team spirit.

Livet is part of Coor's restaurant and bistro operations at Karolinska University Hospital in Solna, where we serve food that makes a real difference for healthcare staff and visitors every day.

About Coor and Livet

Coor is a reliable employer with a warm, inclusive culture where we develop both people and businesses. We take pride in creating food experiences where quality, care, and sustainability meet – every day.

At Livet, we operate two units:

• Restaurant – buffet lunch for about 800 guests per day
• Bistro – about 150 guests per day

Our ambition is clear: We aim to be the best at what is challenging – even in the kitchen.

About the role

In the role of sous-chef, you will create safety, structure, and joy in the kitchen. You will work closely with both the kitchen master and the team, becoming a natural leader in daily operations, especially when things get busy. With us, you will have the opportunity to shape a modern and sustainable food production on a large scale.

Your responsibilities:

Leadership & Operations

• Follow up on food waste and contribute to the business achieving its goals.
• Work in our systems (meritorious: Rillion, Quinyx, Klimato, Martin & Servera's inventory system).
• Contribute to efficient routines and structure in the kitchen.

Who are you?

You thrive when things are happening and when you can be close to both food and people. You lead by being present, unpretentious, and caring, creating safety around you – even when the pace is high.

You think in a structured and methodical way, prioritize wisely when the pressure is highest, and always keep an eye on quality and the whole. Sustainability is a natural part of how you work and cook. Above all, you are a team player who builds culture and joy at work every day.
