Head Chef Mirai House

Mirai House is located at the Bio Science Park in Leiden, with 2 different pharmaceutical companies and 1 university hospital as tenants. This location, with many different nationalities, offers the necessary challenges to ensure every guest is satisfied. There is a cozy espresso bar open daily from 8:00 AM to 3:00 PM and a buffet restaurant from 12:00 PM to 2:00 PM. We make everything ourselves, from the salad bar to the hot dishes and desserts. We do this from Monday to Friday for an average of 160 guests per day; additionally, we also provide daily banqueting in the various halls. Drinks should not be missing from this either, and therefore we also regularly organize a DoMiBo (Thursday afternoon drinks) for various tenants.

You are available Monday through Friday and work between 7:00 AM and 3:00 PM. We will coordinate the exact contents of your schedule based on the needs of the location and your availability.

As Head Chef at Mirai House, Leiden, you show your recipe both literally and figuratively. We work with a food concept. This means that you work within the established frameworks, but also have the freedom to showcase your own recipes. Every day, you challenge yourself to offer guests variety through creativity, attention to detail, and knowledge of different cuisines. You are continuously sharp on the quality of the dishes that leave the kitchen. You are also responsible for the administrative part of the kitchen. In this way, you ensure that HACCP is complied with, orders are placed on time, and allergens are properly mapped out.

Because you work as a chef cook within corporate catering, you know better than anyone what your guests most want to see on the menu. You speak to, see, and hear them! As a chef cook, you work closely with management to develop new culinary concepts and continuously improve the guest experience. Your creativity, leadership qualities, and passion for cooking ensure that our kitchen always performs at a high level.
