For a large, popular and busy restaurant in South Tyrol, we are looking for an experienced Chef for the Starters Section (m/f/d) to join the team immediately in a long-term permanent position.

The kitchen combines traditional South Tyrolean cuisine with Italian classics, using high-quality, regional ingredients in a professional and well-established restaurant operation.

• Clean and professional working methods
• Reliable and responsible
• Team player who is willing to contribute during busy services

This position is specifically aimed at experienced chefs looking for a long-term position.

What Really Matters to Us

In a busy restaurant, there are services when a large number of orders hit the kitchen at the same time. That’s when every section needs to perform.

We’re therefore looking for someone who remains calm and focused under pressure, knows how to prioritise and keeps their section under control.

Your responsibilities will include:

• Independently organising and managing the starters section

• Working quickly without compromising quality
• Handling high-quality ingredients with care
• Performing well during high-volume services

• Maintaining a clean and professional workstation

In short: you should know your section, be comfortable working at pace and stay focused even when the restaurant is full.
