HEAD CHEF

Would you like to join the team at Madklubben’s new restaurant on Pilestræde?

The job

As Head Chef, you will have overall responsibility for the operation of the kitchen and its team. This means you need to thrive in a fast-paced environment, enjoy juggling multiple responsibilities, and maintain a calm, clear overview at all times.

Alongside leading your team during service, the role includes a range of operational and administrative responsibilities. You will be responsible for managing and developing your chefs and kitchen assistants. Your day-to-day tasks will include staff scheduling, developing new dishes and menus in collaboration with the Gastronomic Chef, cost control, ordering supplies, maintaining cleanliness, following up on daily operations, and ensuring high standards of hygiene and food safety.

You will spend the majority of your time working side by side with your team during service, taking an active role in coaching, training, and developing every member of the kitchen.

Success means delivering an exceptional service every evening - serving outstanding food on time, in a positive atmosphere, and leading a team of happy colleagues who feel motivated, inspired, and valued by your leadership.

• You are imaginative and creative and will go the extra mile to ensure an experience beyond expectations for all our guests.
• The team is international, so you need to be able to speak and understand both Danish and English.
