Cook at the Mountain Inn 50-100%

About the job

The Mountain Inn Hintere Wasserfallen is located away from the hustle and bustle of everyday life on the Wasserfallen in the Basel-Landschaft Jura, surrounded by meadows, forests and hiking trails. Hikers, bikers, families and excursion groups come to us to enjoy good food, fresh air and the view. On sunny days, our terrace is a popular meeting place. In rain and fog, it becomes quieter, and we use the time specifically for production.

We see ourselves as an honest, down-to-earth host business with tradition and heart. Our kitchen is simple, regional, seasonal, traditional and often uses fresh products from the surrounding area. In addition to the à la carte service, we organise banquets, corporate events, family celebrations and group meals for up to 100 people. Our restaurant offers 140 seats indoors and 100 on the terrace.

With us, the working day usually ends when other cooks are just starting the evening service. We mainly work during the day from 9 am to 6 pm, without room hours and without fragmented working days. This leaves you time for family, friends and leisure.

Our kitchen thinks differently:
We work according to the principle of time-independent production. This means we separate production from service. When the weather is bad, we produce calmly in advance. When the sun shines and the terrace is full, we serve quickly and with consistent quality. This gives you predictable processes, less stress during peak times and a well-organised kitchen.

Tasks

• As the sole cook, you independently manage the kitchen and receive support from the team during groups, banquets and high demand.
• You cook à la carte and are responsible for pre-production according to our concept.
• You plan and prepare banquets, group events and occasional evening events.
• You ensure cleaning, order and hygiene in the kitchen according to HACCP.
• You keep an overview of the stock and place orders.

Qualifications

• You have completed training as a cook (EFZ or equivalent) and bring professional experience.
• You enjoy working independently and take responsibility for your kitchen.
• You remain calm and resilient even on a busy sunny day.
• You have a driving licence and your own vehicle, as our restaurant is in a remote location.

Benefits

• You work without room hours and have regular working hours, mostly during the day.
• Thanks to modern production methods, processes are predictable and peak times are more relaxed.
• You have a lot of creative freedom as the sole cook.
• We are a supportive team when it matters.
• Your workplace is in the middle of nature, where others go on holiday.
• The workload is flexible between 50 and 100%.

We are looking immediately or by arrangement for a motivated cook who enjoys becoming part of our team and is passionate and committed.

We look forward to your application
