Chef de Cuisine at Östgöta Kök – For those who want to cook for real, without sacrificing life outside the kitchen

You have mastered your craft. You know how service should feel, how a team should be led, and how an ingredient deserves to be treated. The only question is: do you get the space to do your best work – and still have a life?

With us, you do.

Östgöta Kök is an established and well-known brand with a solid foundation. We are now looking for a Chef de Cuisine who wants to take their place, leave their mark, and lead a kitchen where variety is the point.

This is not a kitchen that gets stuck in the same menu year after year. With us, assignments range from intimate, exclusive dinners where every detail counts, to large events and catering where logistics and pace set the standard. You get to play the whole register – and the freedom to develop within it.

What you get with us

• Working hours that actually work. We know what the industry usually demands – and we do things differently. Here there is room for both professional pride and everyday life.

• A secure employer. A stable company with collective agreements, orderly conditions, and management that stands behind its kitchen.

• Variety that keeps you sharp. From finesse to scale, from à la carte feel to large productions. You never lose the spark.

• A team worth leading. Competent, engaged colleagues and a culture where staff stay.

The Role

As Chef de Cuisine, you own the kitchen – the quality, the team, and the operations. You plan and develop menus and production, lead and help your team grow, and hold everything together from self-control and food safety to economics, purchasing, and waste. You are the one who sets the standard and ensures it is maintained, every time, whether it is a dinner for twelve or an event for several hundred.

We believe that you

• Are a chef with several years of experience from a professional kitchen, preferably in a leadership role.

• Are a secure leader who builds teams rather than burning them out.

• Have knowledge of food hygiene, self-control, and HACCP.

• Are driven by both the quality of the plate and order in the numbers.

• Enjoy it when the pace and assignments vary.
