As an intern Independent Working Cook, you will become part of our fun and enthusiastic kitchen team. You will build upon your existing cooking skills and learn how to work increasingly independently in a professional kitchen. From planning and preparing tasks to independently preparing and presenting dishes. Together with your colleagues, you will ensure that every guest can enjoy delicious, high-quality dishes.

Depending on your education, experience, and learning goals, you will work on:

• Independently planning, organizing, and executing the daily mise-en-place;

• Preparing and plating various dishes according to our recipes and quality standards;

• Working increasingly independently in different departments within the kitchen, such as the hot and cold sides;

• Learning to take responsibility for your own section during breakfast, lunch, or dinner;

• Monitoring the quality, taste, presentation, and freshness of dishes;

• Checking stocks and assisting with ordering and managing products;

• Working according to HACCP guidelines and ensuring a clean and organized workplace;

• Collaborating and coordinating with colleagues to ensure the kitchen operations run smoothly.

Your development is central! You will receive more independence and responsibility step by step. In doing so, you will not only learn how to prepare dishes, but also how to maintain an overview, set priorities, and make independent decisions within your tasks.

With us, you are not alone! During your internship, you will receive a permanent, personal mentor who will help you get the best out of yourself.

• A mentor that suits you: we have multiple certified mentors, from sous chefs to head chefs. Together, we will see who best aligns with your education, learning goals, and personal connection.

• Always someone to fall back on: is your permanent mentor absent one day? No problem! You can always go to one of our other mentors for questions, help, or advice.

• A personal learning plan: together, we determine what you want to learn and how you are going to achieve your learning goals.

• Guidance on the work floor: you will receive practical explanations, handy tips, and increasingly more responsibility.

• Regular feedback: we discuss what is going well, where you can grow, and what your next steps are.

• Space for your interests: do you want to learn something extra? Then we will look at the possibilities together.

• Your internship, your development! We will provide the guidance that suits you.
