Head Chef at Haga Bottega Elite Carolina Tower

Would you like to lead a hotel kitchen where conferences, events and Italian cooking come together? We are looking for a committed and driven head chef who wants to develop the hotel's food experiences - from conference lunches and group bookings to events and Italian à la carte. With us, you get to combine creativity with leadership and create a whole where food is an important part of the guest's hotel stay.

As head chef, you have overall responsibility for the kitchen's operations and development, with a particular focus on the hotel's conference and event business. You plan menus, purchasing and staffing based on the booking situation, and ensure that each event receives the right quality, timing and adaptation to guests' needs. In close collaboration with the restaurant and conference managers, you make lunches, conference meals, events and à la carte work side by side. You also develop our Italian à la carte menu, which is renewed every three months. As a present leader, you motivate the team and are responsible for recruitment, staffing, scheduling, holiday planning and staff follow-up.

You keep menu development, purchasing and calculations together and follow up on raw material and staff costs. You ensure good hygiene, food safety and a good working environment, and work actively with sustainable purchasing and reduced food waste in line with Elite Hotels' guidelines and Green Key's environmental requirements. After induction, you work independently with relevant administrative routines in PMI and Timeplan.

You have experience as a head chef or from another leading role in a restaurant kitchen, preferably within hotels, conferences or events. You enjoy planning for larger groups and several parallel meal flows, without losing care for every plate. You have good knowledge of Italian cooking and à la carte and are confident in menu planning and costing. As a leader, you are clear, structured and solution-oriented, with financial understanding and good administrative skills.

Here you get to put your stamp on the hotel's conference and event meals, develop our Italian food concept and shape a strong kitchen team. Our ambition is to become Hagastaden's neighbourhood restaurant - a natural meeting place for both neighbours and hotel guests. As head chef, you will play an important role in getting us there. Would you like to create dining experiences that elevate the meeting, the event and the hotel stay? Welcome with your application!
