Independent Working Chef

Taamaraa Indian Restaurant is located in Utrecht, The Netherlands. We are looking for a qualified, self-employed chef with culinary skills for our restaurant in Utrecht.

**What will you do as a self-employed chef?**

You'll prepare meals yourself and help new colleagues prepare them. Although we use standard recipes, this requires some practice. And you'll need a pinch of patience, as not everyone immediately masters the finer details of cutting. It's up to you to set an inspiring example and continuously monitor quality. Does everything smell, look, and taste as you think it should? Then the plate can go with the server. If not, you'll intervene and kindly point out areas for improvement to your colleague. We also expect you to keep the place clean and safe and to have a hospitable, collaborative mindset. You prepare all dishes according to a fixed recipe and teach others to prepare them as well.

You can perform prep tasks, such as washing, cutting, (pre)cooking, mixing, stirring, etc.

You can assess the quality of products/ingredients to be used (freshness, shelf life, etc.) and prepare tools.

You can carry out preparations, monitor/check quality, doneness, taste, color, fluidity, etc., and make adjustments/additions.

You keep everything neat and safe and work according to HACCP guidelines.

You ensure that colleagues understand and embrace the importance of hospitality.

You identify opportunities for improvement and report these back to the Head Chef.

Job Requirements:

Stress-resistant.

You are a team player but also able to work independently within your responsibilities and expertise.

You have demonstrable knowledge of basic cooking techniques. You are responsible for inventory and order management and can professionally supervise assistants.

You have completed a training program equivalent to a chef's training program at a minimum of MBO-3 level and can provide supporting documentation. If you do not yet have that level but are willing to learn to achieve it, you can also apply.
