Sous-Chef

Crazy about cooking

Are you a connoisseur of culinary masterpieces? O’Pazzo would love to introduce you to the kitchen if you are the perfect fit. Together with the head chef, you are responsible for everything that comes out of the kitchen. You handle the preparation of all à la carte dishes and manage the entire kitchen brigade. And molto importante: you ensure that the culinary standard at O’Pazzo remains top-notch. It’s about coordinating the preparation process so that dishes are efficiently, rapidly, and consistently prepared at a high quality. In the kitchen, you are also the go-to person when there are complaints or group reservations.

Cooking is everything to you. In one word: Passione. In addition to cooking, you assist the head chef with administration tasks. This includes work schedules, leave requests, finding replacement staff, reservations, and placing orders. Every day, you and the team strive to deliver an A-okay performance. At the end of the day, you close the evening with colleagues with a drink at the bar. Salute!
