Organisation
Dicht bij het Centraal Station hebben we de Westerkerk in Utrecht omgebouwd tot een bruisende ontmoetingsplek voor mensen uit de buurt en van ver weg. Op een typische dag is onze monumentale kerkzaal gevuld met gasten die genieten van gerechten van over de hele wereld, bereid met zo veel mogelijk lokale ingrediënten (met een Bunk-twist, natuurlijk), flexwerkers die de laatste details van hun projecten afronden backpackers die voor een klein prijsje wat slaap inhalen in onze pods, cultuurliefhebbers die profiteren van onze gratis evenementen en nieuwsgierige reizigers, op weg naar avonturen voordat ze terugkeren naar hun kamers.
Job Description
ABOUT BUNK RESTAURANTAt Bunk, our restaurant is full every day, from morning to late, kicking off with hotel guests over breakfast and finishing off with locals enjoying our cultural programming. Inspired by the monumental church which we call home, our menu features local, seasonal ingredients prepared traditionally: smoked, cured, pickled, marinated and stewed. Fresh produce is at the heart of each dish, which we cook straight from our heart, too. Our guests enjoy their food seated at our long tables, perfect for connecting with friends, both old and new.ABOUT YOUThey say the quickest way to someone's heart is through their stomach, and you're ready to make guests fall in love with Bunk every single day.You're a passionate chef with a natural talent for leading people. You know how to keep a kitchen running smoothly, whether it's a calm breakfast service or a packed evening in our church hall. You're organised, proactive and always one step ahead. You know exactly what needs to happen, who needs support and how to keep standards high without losing sight of the people around you.As a Sous Chef (Junior), you're an important support to the Head Chef and kitchen leadership team. You help lead the kitchen team, coach and develop colleagues and take ownership of the operation when the Head Chef is away. You lead by example, stay calm under pressure and understand that consistency, cleanliness and teamwork are just as important as creativity.You love working with seasonal ingredients and bold flavours, and you're constantly looking for ways to improve dishes, processes and the guest experience. Most importantly, you enjoy building a team culture where people can grow, perform and have fun doing it.ABOUT BUNKIn Bunk's monumental churches, you'll find a cross between a hostel, a hotel, a restaurant, a coworking space, an art gallery, a cultural event venue, a traveller's gem and a local favourite. Far from your typical hospitality concept, then. Our brand is built around personality, connection and stories, and our team is made of real people from all walks of life. Rather than extensive experience, what our team has in common is a love for others, and for helping them, whether that be through pointing them towards the best experiences in our cities or creating the best experience on their plates.ABOUT BUNK UTRECHTJust a short walk away from Central Station, we've converted Utrecht's Westerkerk into a buzzing hub for people from near and far alike. On a typical day, our monumental church hall is filled with diners enjoying dishes from all over the world prepared with local ingredients (with a Bunk twist, of course), flex workers putting the finishing touches on their projects, backpackers catching some good sleep on a budget in our pods, culture vultures enjoying our free events and curious travellers heading out on adventures before making their way back to their rooms.BENEFITS
