The tasks vary, and work is done according to a rotating schedule. This way, you will learn all the tasks that occur in the kitchen.

The elderly care sector has a total of 14 kitchens with about 100 employees who produce approximately 3300 servings every day, both for our own restaurants and for individual homes.
