Be part of our culinary future!
Here at Familux, we’re currently planning something truly special:
Together with top chef Mike Süsser, we’re creating a new à la carte restaurant at the Dachsteinkönig that offers creative and modern interpretations of high-quality, regional ingredients. A stylish, cozy atmosphere and a live cooking experience over an open fire make a visit to Firedeck a true highlight for all the senses.
To ensure this project becomes the culinary centerpiece of our resorts, we’re looking for you: a passionate Chef de Cuisine (m/f/d) who enjoys redefining moments of indulgence and delighting guests with artisanal skill and creativity.

You’ll play a key role in shaping the culinary offerings, ensure that quality standards are met, lead the kitchen team with clarity and motivation, and bear full responsibility for the success of the à la carte concept.
