The role

Assistant Cook
Are you someone who stays calm in the rush, stays sharp with the knife, and has great timing? In our new luxurious cocktail bar at Schiphol - inspired by the glamour of the 1920s - we are looking for an Assistant Cook who adds flavor to a special travel experience. Behind customs, where the world stands still for a moment, you will work in an atmospheric setting with international allure. From creative side dishes to sophisticated cocktails: you ensure everything is perfect. Feel like cooking in a place where connection, refinement, and speed come together? Let's go!

What you'll do

  • You participate fully in the kitchen and prepare 'simple' dishes
  • You take care of the mise en place to perfection, and wash, chop, and slice away
  • You check the dishes: does everything look, smell, and taste the way we want it to?
  • You set the plates ready so they can be served
  • You keep things clean and safe. It's part of the job

Your kitchen as Assistant Cook
Cooking better and better. You might not succeed in a single day, but you don't have to, because your colleagues - including our Head Cook - do not expect you to create culinary recipes immediately. However, they do expect you to be eager to learn, enthusiastic, and open to learning a new trade. We can teach you everything in the kitchen while you work, if you have that ambition. Aside from (a lot of) watching and cooking along, we also expect you to follow an internal training program with us at the S.Alt Academy, which we will pay for.

You as Assistant Cook
You don't need to be experienced, but you know what hard work is and you enjoy your craft. You keep a cool head when the tempo picks up. What do we need from you?

What is served to you as Assistant Cook
At HMSHost, it's not just about top service - you count too. You grow with us, get opportunities, and plenty of benefits. This is how we ensure that you come to work with pleasure every day. This is what you get:

Your workplace: shine at Schiphol

Alongside brands such as Starbucks, La Place, and LEON, we also have many beautiful in-house concepts. Do you see yourself shining here?
