Head Chef

As Head Chef at Anne&Max, you’ll lead, inspire, and coach, while sharing your knowledge and passion for our delicious dishes in a hands-on way

Start of the day

You start the day by getting the kitchen ready: you check to make sure everything is in place and briefly go over the schedule with the team. You make sure everyone knows what’s expected of them that day so you can get off to a good start.

Throughout the day

You’ll actively participate in the kitchen, prepare dishes according to recipes, and keep things moving at a steady pace. At the same time, you’ll maintain an overview, direct your coworkers as needed, and ensure that quality, hygiene, and teamwork remain high—even during the busiest times in the kitchen.

End of the Day

At the end of your shift, you and your coworkers tidy up the kitchen, restock everything, and make sure the workstations are clean and ready for the next day. Finally, you briefly review the day and place an order with the supplier. Before you go home, you send out the invitation for next month’s hygiene training.
