Think of us as your agent across the DACH region — and yeah, completely free for you. Drop your CV and what you're after; we handle the digging, the shortlist and even the awkward salary talk. You just cook.
We're a young crew that still cooks every service — so we know what job-hunting feels like, and we know exactly what restaurants want when they hire. We stand on both sides of the pass and make the match.
Your whole no-stress package costs you nothing — the restaurant picks up the tab. Send the CV, tell us the dream gig, done.
Salary, conditions, the small print — we push for you. We pre-negotiate with the restaurant and only call the match when it's actually good for you.
Through our startup Gastronaut we're plugged into 500+ restaurant partners across Germany, Austria and Switzerland — Michelin stars to neighbourhood gems to big-volume machines. We get you in front of the people who decide.
The first years are for stacking skills, not getting stuck on one station. That's the move we're built for — for European chefs, or anyone with the right to work in the EU, ready for DACH.
