TELL ME MORE

Life doesn’t become more social than through sharing food. That’s our founding food philosophy and it can be yours too. The food that comes out of our Living Kitchen is fresh, simple, honest, healthy and local. With short-end preparation times, simple ingredients and limited preparation steps, our assortment is incredibly intelligent and facilitates fast service.

As our new chef you'll be responsible for any food that comes out of our Living Kitchen. You'll plate beautiful dishes and at times make creative buffets that not only look good, but also taste amazing.

You’ll work closely together with our team of chefs, to develop menu offerings and forecast supply needs. You like to take on responsibility, thrive with independence in your work and function as a substitute for our chefs.

WHAT MAKES OUR KITCHEN UNIQUE?

• You won’t hide in the background. You'll get to work in an open kitchen environment with plenty of space and natural daylight.

• You'll get the ultimate flexibility. You can come up with your own dishes and let your creativity run wild.

• You can have good conversations with visitors. You’re the face of the kitchen and you'll get to directly chat with guests.
