Om jobbet

For our plant-based production kitchen, we are in search of a committed, self-driven prep cook with at least three years of experience. This is a crucial part of an expanding idea that combines vegan food production, innovation, nostalgia, and Slavic home cuisine.

Service is provided in a small venue in central Gothenburg (Kungsgatan) or in our food truck at events, while all preparation and production takes place in our production kitchen. In this role, instead of à la carte service, the emphasis is on batch production, freezing, and uniform quality.
