As a Head chef at McKinsey, Amsterdam, you literally and figuratively showcase your recipe. We work with a food concept, which means you work within set frameworks but also have the freedom to present your own recipes. Every day, you challenge yourself to offer guests variety with creativity, attention to detail, and knowledge of different cuisines. You are constantly vigilant about the quality of the dishes leaving the kitchen. You are also responsible for the administrative part of the kitchen. This includes ensuring HACCP compliance, timely ordering, and accurately mapping allergens.

As a Head chef, 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.
