The role

Chef Kok The Wanderer
You are building a new kitchen that everyone wants to work in. In the middle of the dynamics of Schiphol, behind customs, you will lead a kitchen team in our new luxurious cocktail bar with a nod to the '20s. Here, where international guests meet and share stories, you ensure shared dishes that connect and surprise. You are the engine behind a team that runs on flavor, atmosphere, and collaboration - and you take every shift and every dish to a higher level. Will you become our new Chef Kok?

This is what your role as Chef Kok looks like
Leading, inspiring, and structuring? That is where you make the difference. You run the kitchen as if it were your own business. You lead your team with energy and attention - from onboarding to career growth - while monitoring the quality of everything that leaves the kitchen. No two days are the same, but your approach is always sharp.

This is what you bring into the kitchen
You are a coach with taste. You love an organized kitchen, but also the liveliness that comes with a busy workplace. You know your responsibilities and maintain an overview, even during peak hours.

What you'll do

  • You coordinate the daily kitchen operation together with your two Chef de Parties and seven Independent Cooks
  • You lead your team on quality, hygiene, timing, and teamwork
  • You devise improvements that take both the team and the guest experience to a higher level
  • You ensure that supplies, orders, and administration are in order
  • You train your team members on the floor, in technique and in mentality

How you'll work

Your workplace: shine at Schiphol
At the international Schiphol, there is movement 24/7. From a businessman from Singapore to a backpacker on their way to Bali, you encounter everything. Here, HMSHost provides a fantastic hospitality experience at more than 80 hospitality locations, from full-service restaurants and counter concepts to the Grab & Fly kiosks. Alongside brands such as Starbucks, La Place, and LEON, we also have many beautiful in-house concepts. Do you see yourself shining here already?
