Vacant job

Allé Elva is located on the campus area of Södertörn University in Flemingsberg. The restaurant, together with Café Prego and our event & catering services, is part of Campus by Nordrest. We serve approximately 300 lunch guests and 800 café guests daily. We provide catering to Södertörn University, KTH, Karolinska Institutet (KI), private individuals, and Karolinska University Hospital, and our catering business is growing!

Our core values are to spread joy, be accessible, and pleasantly surprise. We work extensively with sustainability and constantly strive to improve our environmental efforts.

At Allé Elva, we prepare all food with great passion and from scratch. Sustainability and quality are two key words for us. In the restaurant, we offer three daily lunches in a weight-based buffet format, as well as two daily student lunches (portioned). In our cold kitchen, we produce sandwiches, salads, and baked goods for our café & catering services. Additionally, we work with conferences, buffets, and dinner orders.

We are now looking for a driven and independent cook for a seasonal position. We are looking for you who have a genuine interest in cooking and enjoy working with ingredients that make a menu appealing. You are innovative, respect the ingredients, and see opportunities to use the whole ingredient. You have experience in the culinary and service professions and are accustomed to building good relationships with guests, as you will have daily guest contact. As a person, you are responsible, creative, and cheerful. We are looking for the right person with the right attitude towards work and colleagues so that our good team spirit is preserved. You naturally go above and beyond, see the big picture, and have no problem stepping into, for example, the cold kitchen when needed. If you also enjoy baking, it is a big plus as we bake for lunch, the café, and orders.

As we are a relatively small unit (even though we are growing) with few employees, it is important that you naturally see it as your duty to jump in where needed – this could mean stepping in at the café register, helping in the dishwashing area, or delivering/picking up a catering order, while showing interest in the entire operation and how it functions.

We assume you are self-motivated, enjoy working in a great team, can easily see the overview of what needs to be done, and are structured. Speaking and understanding Swedish is a must.

If you are eager to work daytime hours and have weekends off, as well as time off over Christmas & New Year and a large part of the summer, and have what we are looking for – contact us today! Some evening work may occur occasionally, averaging once a month.
