Experienced cook neighbourhood and children's restaurant Bilgaard

District and children's restaurant Bilgaard provides weekly restaurant afternoons in the Bilgaard district in Leeuwarden. Guests enjoy a healthy and nutritious menu and a lot of fun. Connecting people through good food is the main goal of neighbourhood restaurant Bilgaard, and many friendships have already been made at the Stammtafels. The afternoons are open to everyone and we do our best to be a nice place for all guests.

Due to the expansion of cooking initiatives, we are looking for a new experienced chef.

- You cook as much as possible with fresh ingredients (meat and vegetarian menu)
- You will be supported by volunteer kitchen staff and hosts or hostesses who serve the food
- You will manage the activities in the kitchen. This is broad in terms of responsibilities: Preparing purchases and sending out the volunteers, planning the work and supervising mis en place, preparing the dishes together, cooperating with head waiters in the restaurant and taking care of hygiene in the kitchen. And it is important that you can manage everyone in a pleasant way and enjoy doing so.

• You will become part of the friendly, inclusive neighbourhood restaurant family.
• On the fixed restaurant day, your food and drinks are arranged.

• You will always work with other volunteers and there is a chef on hand to introduce you to the site.
• From time to time, we have cosy get-togethers with all the neighbourhood restaurant volunteers.

You are focused on cooperation, like to lead by example and love a clean kitchen.

In addition, you will have the following ingredients:

• You have affinity and experience of cooking in a professional kitchen.
• You are able to manage the kitchen team.
• You design the menu creatively, within the set budget.
• You are presentable and guest-oriented.
• You will be available at least 4 times a month on Wednesdays from 9am- 2pm to give direction to our restaurant team.
