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.

For our à-la-carte restaurant as well as for internal and external events, we occasionally look for committed assistant cooks.

The assignments are flexible on call and depend on current needs – this is not a fixed workload. You support our kitchen team both in the à-la-carte operation and at events and functions.

If you enjoy cooking, are flexible, and like to pitch in where support is needed, we look forward to getting to know you.

YOUR TASKS

Your tasks include preparing and attractively presenting our dishes according to high-quality standards. You ensure freshness, correct portioning, as well as cleanliness and hygiene at your station, assist with storage and inventory control, and work closely with the kitchen team and other departments. With your commitment, you contribute significantly to a smooth operation and a first-class guest experience.

WHAT WE OFFER YOU
