About the job

The Waldhaus beider Basel opened in February 2023 and is located in the Birsfelder Hardwald on the outskirts of Basel, nestled in the midst of nature. It includes a boutique hotel with 20 rooms, a traditional restaurant with a large terrace, and a bistro with a unique view of the Rhine. The offer consists of gastronomic classics and dishes that one would expect "in the forest" and "on the Rhine." The culinary offer is complemented by the self-produced soft drinks of the Wyniger Group: beer from the "Stadtmauer Brauer" brewery and various Rhine brand products. The contemporary traditional business focuses on regional and seasonal products.

The Waldhaus beider Basel is part of the owner-managed Wyniger Group, which operates several restaurants, bars, hotels as well as a brewery, roastery, a cleaning company, and a wine shop with its own spirits brands in the Basel region.

In addition, you work closely with the kitchen, bar, and the entire service team and support the preparation and execution of events and banquets.
