The restaurant group Madklubben in Aarhus consists of a total of 9 restaurants, each with different menus and themes. With a wide selection of restaurants in the city, we can offer a little bit of everything for anyone looking for a place to dine in Aarhus.

The job

As a head chef at Madklubben, you are overall responsible for the kitchen's operations and staff. This means you must be able to juggle multiple tasks while maintaining a cool and composed demeanor.

In addition to running service with your team, the role involves leading your cooks and assistants. Your daily tasks will include, but are not limited to, scheduling, developing new dishes and menus, financial management, ordering supplies, cleaning, follow-up, hygiene, and self-inspection.

You will spend most of your time on the floor, working closely with your team. You are responsible for and actively involved in the development and training of everyone on the team.

Success means running an evening with fantastic food, served on time with good humor, and with happy colleagues who feel motivated, inspired, and appreciated in your company.

• You have previous experience as a leader in a kitchen.

• You are a skilled craftsman and an enthusiastic expert with a genuine interest in detail and flavor.

• You always work with a positive attitude and see challenges rather than problems.

• You are good at time management and prioritizing your tasks.

• You are a strong leader and a competent manager with a desire to learn new things.

• You are accustomed to a busy environment and high volume, and you are prepared to adapt when required.

• You like to lead a team that delivers every day and always keep a cool head.

• You are imaginative and creative and will go the extra mile to ensure an experience beyond expectations for all our guests.

• The team is international, so you need to be able to speak and understand both Danish and English.

• Experience with Southern European cuisine is an advantage.

If you are interested in a specific restaurant, please provide that in your application.
