We offer varied and developmental work where you have great opportunities to influence both the daily work in the kitchen and the development of the operation. You will also have the opportunity to participate in various development and working groups within the organization.

As a person, you are service-oriented, responsible, and flexible. You have good cooperation and communication skills and enjoy working both independently and together with others. You take initiative and contribute to a positive work climate. Great importance will be attached to personal suitability.
