About Familierestaurant Pluis

A professional kitchen behind a relaxed atmosphere

At Familierestaurant Pluis everything revolves around good food, hospitality and fun. We are a modern family restaurant where young and old feel welcome. Behind that relaxed atmosphere is a professional kitchen where quality, teamwork and clear working processes come first.

What will you do?

You run the kitchen

As kitchen manager you are responsible for the day-to-day leadership, organisation and results of the kitchen. You are a hands-on manager who likes to be on the floor, but who also plans ahead and keeps the overview. Your main responsibilities:

  • Leading and coaching: you lead the kitchen team, motivate colleagues and help them develop further.
  • Food cost and stock control: you keep a grip on purchasing, stock, recipes and portions and prevent unnecessary waste.
  • Guarding quality: you deliver tasty, consistent dishes that meet our quality standards.
  • Kitchen organisation: you organise the mise en place, divide the work and guard hygiene and HACCP.
  • Improving processes: you work with fixed recipes and clear working methods and see where the kitchen can work more efficiently.
  • Helping build Pluis: you think along about the menu and the further development of our kitchen and our concept.

How we work

At Pluis we work from processes

We believe a good kitchen should not depend on one person. With clear agreements, fixed recipes and smart working methods we create calm during busy moments and deliver consistent quality. So you don't have to do everything yourself. You pass on knowledge, give colleagues responsibility and build a team that works together independently and with pleasure.

Who are we looking for?

Do you recognise yourself?

We are looking for a hospitality professional who combines craftsmanship with natural leadership and organisational insight. Do you recognise yourself in several of the points below? You:

  • have experience as a kitchen manager, head chef, sous chef or in a similar role.
  • can lead and motivate a team in a positive and clear way.
  • understand staff planning, staff costs, food cost and stock control.
  • work in a structured way and have an eye for quality, efficiency and hygiene.
  • stay calm and keep the overview, even when it's busy.
  • take initiative, think in solutions and feel responsible for the result.
  • get energy from developing colleagues and improving working processes.

You don't need to be an expert in everything yet. The right attitude, a sense of responsibility and the will to grow together matter to us at least as much.
