Independent Cook

It's busy in the kitchen. The first orders come in, the buffets fill up, and meanwhile there's an event on the agenda. You keep an overview, know what needs to be done, and ensure that every dish leaves the kitchen as intended.

At de Bonte Wever, you work in a place where a lot comes together. You cook for our restaurants, but also for business meetings, parties, and other events. One day you prepare dishes for the buffet, the next day you and your colleagues prepare the kitchen for a large event. No day and no service are the same.

You work independently within a close-knit kitchen team. You think along about dishes, monitor the quality, and ensure that the kitchen is well-prepared for each service. You also contribute to purchasing and stock management.

From preparation to serving: you ensure that your part of the kitchen is running. You are involved in:

• independently preparing and cooking dishes;

• monitoring the taste, presentation, and quality of the final product;

• thinking about new dishes and developing them;

• tasks for our restaurants and various events;

• checking stocks and helping with purchasing;

• monitoring BBD and FIFO;

• working according to HACCP guidelines;

• keeping the kitchen and workspaces clean and tidy;

• collaborating with colleagues during preparation, service, and events.

You know what's needed to provide a good service. You work independently, keep calm when the pace picks up, and step in where needed. At the same time, you actively seek collaboration with your colleagues.

You bring:

• a completed MBO cooking education level 2 or 3;

• several years of experience as an independent cook;

• passion for cooking and a sense of taste and presentation;

• interest in creating and developing new dishes;

• knowledge of HACCP, BBD, and FIFO;

• eye for quality, hygiene, and a neat working environment;

• a flexible and stress-resistant working attitude;

• the motivation to deliver every service well together with colleagues.

The Bonte Wever is more than a restaurant. Hotel guests join for dinner, business guests come together for a meeting, and a party is scheduled in the event hall. All these different guests and moments come together in your kitchen. That makes the work varied.

Of course, you get something in return. You receive:

• a friendly and dynamic company to work in;
