Vacancy
As a Chef de Partie at DoubleTree by Hilton Amsterdam Centraal Station, it is your responsibility to ensure that all work in the kitchen runs quickly and smoothly. The guests should always be served high-quality food and drinks and you see to it that this happens. You cook a lot in this role: sometimes cold starters, sometimes desserts, garnishes or side dishes. This involves preparatory work, such as pre-cutting vegetables. Then - as soon as the guests are there - you only have to heat up all the ingredients, prepare the plates neatly and then hand them over to the waiter. In between, you check whether cooks are doing their job properly and you advise them. So you also have a coordinating role. At the end of each shift, you clean the kitchen and complete all hygiene lists. You also keep track of how quickly ingredients run out. Based on this, you make an order list, which you pass on to the Sous Chef after every shift.
You work together with two other Chef de Parties in the kitchen. There usually are two shifts: from 10 AM to 6 PM or from 3 PM to 11 PM. You usually work from 3 PM to 11 PM, but a lunch shift might also occur.
If you like to cook a wide variety of different dishes, and you stay calm when busy and radiate this calmness as well, then this is the job for you.
Working week
Poyan Heermand
During a nice working day I hear after a shift that a guest was very happy with a special dish that we prepared for her, due to an exceptional allergy she has. Partly thanks to my efforts, the guest has had a positive experience with us, and that's what I do it for.
On a day when everything is not running all that smoothly - often on a Sunday - there are fewer ingredients in house because there is no delivery that day and it is often very busy on Saturdays. This can be quite challenging, especially with specific ingredients that guests’ request.
