Head chef/kitchen manager (m/f/d)
Welcome to the Familotel Engel! Our 4* family hotel in the Black Forest combines a cozy family atmosphere with a touch of adventure. Whether hiking, cycling or skiing - nature is right on our doorstep and makes the Black Forest your office. Our guests, big and small, enjoy varied buffets with regional and international dishes, front cooking, our own bakery and barbecue evenings created by our dedicated kitchen team every day. If you are passionate about cooking and want to lead a motivated team in a traditional yet modern hotel, then you've come to the right place! As we do not have an à la carte business and do not run part-time services, you can concentrate fully on the buffet preparation and mise-en-place and enjoy every evening.
