Head Chef Brasserie (m/f/d) 100%

About the job

Head Chef Brasserie (m/f) 100% Schloss Bottmingen - Basel

A castle. A lively brasserie. And perhaps soon your kitchen.

Weiherschloss Bottmingen stands for hospitality, enjoyment and special moments in a unique historic setting. Our Brasserie du Château is the vibrant heart of our house – uncomplicated and warm, yet with a clear commitment to quality, craftsmanship and good products.

For our brasserie, we are looking for a personality who wants to take responsibility, lead people and develop the kitchen further together with us.

We are not just looking for someone to manage a kitchen. We are looking for someone to bring it to life.

Our team needs reinforcement and that is YOU as:

Head Chef Brasserie (m/f/d) 100% Schloss Bottmingen

What awaits you with us:

As head chef of our brasserie, you take operational responsibility for the kitchen and, together with your team, ensure that our guests are happy to return every day.

You lead, organise and pitch in yourself. At the same time, you get space to contribute your experience and ideas and actively shape the culinary development of the brasserie.

In doing so, you work closely with our long-standing Executive Chef as well as other areas of our house. Your main tasks are:

• Operational management of the brasserie kitchen
• Leadership, motivation and development of your kitchen team
• Co-creation of seasonal menus and new dishes
• Responsibility for a consistently high quality standard
• Planning and organisation of daily operations and mise en place
• Participation and responsibility at banquets, weddings and special events
• Responsibility for ordering goods, inventory management and a conscious approach to food cost and resources
• Close collaboration with our Executive Chef, service and event team

What you bring:

You are a trained cook and have already gained experience in a responsible position – for example as head chef or sous chef – and are ready for the next step.

More important than the perfect CV, however, is the personality behind it.

You…

• cook with passion and a high standard of quality
• work in a structured way and keep an overview even in intense moments
• lead your team respectfully, clearly and by good example
• are reliable and take responsibility
• enjoy fresh, seasonal products and honest craftsmanship
• bring ideas and at the same time have a feel for what our guests love
• understand that a strong kitchen only works as a team

Why Weiherschloss?

• Because hardly any day is like the other.
• With us, à la carte business, weddings, banquets and extraordinary events come together. You can expect a versatile workplace with high-quality products, creative freedom and an experienced team at your side.
• A workplace that is not quite ordinary: a historic Weiherschloss in the middle of greenery and only a few minutes from Basel.
• We want to further develop our kitchen and are looking for people who not only want to accompany this path but actively shape it.
• The team spirit and collegiality are essential for our daily work – joy in work is our highest motivation
• Attractive discounts via our benefits platform.

We look forward to your application!
