Job title: Sous Chef

Location: Amsterdam

Salary: €3500-€3700 gross per month (excluding the 8%)

Start: ASAP

Our client is a well-loved Mediterranean-inspired restaurant with a generous, flavour-driven cuisine, warm hospitality, and buzzing, social dining atmosphere

The kitchen is high-volume, creative, and collaborative, and we're now looking for a Sous Chef to help lead it.

Key responsibilities

• Support the Head Chef in running daily kitchen operations across a fast-paced, high-cover service
• Lead and motivate a diverse brigade of chefs, ensuring consistency, quality, and speed on every plate
• Take ownership of sections, pass, and service during shifts — and step up to lead the kitchen in the Head Chef's absence
• Contribute to menu development, seasonal changes, and specials, with genuine room for creative input
• Monitor food safety, HACCP compliance, and hygiene standards at all times
• Manage stock levels, ordering, and waste control in partnership with the Head Chef
• Help train and develop junior chefs, building a positive, supportive kitchen culture

Key requirements:

• 3+ years of experience at Sous Chef level in a fresh, high-volume Mediterranean, or comparable quality-focused restaurant
• Strong leadership presence — calm, organised, and motivating during busy service
• Solid knowledge of Mediterranean ingredients, techniques, and flavour profiles
• Up-to-date food safety certification (HACCP Level 2 minimum)
• A genuine passion for hospitality and a hands-on, no-ego attitude
• Flexibility to work evenings, weekends, and holidays — this is hospitality, and the buzz is part of the deal
