Stellenbeschreibung

The Hoxton, Charlottenburg (Berlin) – Culinary Head Chef (m/f/d)

The Hoxton took on Berlin in 2023, and now we’re on the hunt for an experienced Culinary Head Chef to lead our kitchen with creativity, flair and a hands-on spirit.

Our first Hoxton in Germany is home to 234 bedrooms of varying sizes, a ground floor meeting & event space, TeaHouse, Lobby Bar & Restaurant, a street side terrace and our meeting and events space “The Apartment” on the 7th floor.

Reporting to the Director of Food & Beverage, you will be responsible for managing all culinary employees and back of house Food & Beverage spaces as well as the menu creation across all venues while driving the business to achieve the budgeted KPI’s.

What you’ll do…

• Lead and inspire our international culinary team across Lobby Bar & Restaurant, Teahouse, and our buzzing event spaces.
• Craft exciting, high-quality menus that balance creativity with brand integrity.
• Keep a close eye on the numbers – managing budgets, food & labour costs, and driving efficiencies without compromising on quality.
• Run smooth daily operations, making sure service flows and standards stay sky-high.
• Manage ordering and inventory smartly, keeping stock levels in check and waste to a minimum.
• Be a coach and mentor – nurturing talent and creating an environment where your team can shine.
• Working close together with our event sales team creating outstanding offerings for our guests.

What we are looking for…

• A proven kitchen leader – ideally 2+ years as Banquet Chef or Executive Sous Chef in a high-volume, multi-venue setting.
• Strong background in Meetings & Events and a confident communicator in German and English – any other language would be a nice add-on.
• A passion for diverse cuisines and innovative techniques, paired with solid cost and H&S management.
• Someone who’s creative, hands-on, and loves to push boundaries while keeping it fun and authentic.
• Managing the H&S within the kitchen spaces and all food handling, as well health code standards
• You’re looking for a place where you can be you; no clones in chef whites here.
• Passion for hospitality – you’re all about creating memorable experiences for others, be they guests or colleagues.
• You’re not precious. We leave our egos at the door and help get things done.
• You’re up for doing things differently and trying (almost) everything once.
• You want to be part of a team that works hard, supports each other and has fun along the way.

What’s in it for you…

• A competitive salary and eligibility to participate in our discretionary bonus scheme.
• The opportunity to bring an exciting new hospitality concept to Berlin (and Germany) and join an innovative, fast-growing, international group that’s committed to not just building new hotels but building a global brand.
• 28 holidays (plus bank holidays) and extra time off to volunteer with one of our partner charities.
• The chance to challenge the norm and work in an environment that is both creative and rewarding.
• Enjoy a free night at The Hoxton and a meal for two when you first start with us.
• Goes without saying, but we’ll support your meals when on shift with our Pluxee Benefit Card and Pluxee Food Vouchers.
• Great discounts across the entire Ennismore family.
• Lots of opportunity to progress and switch it up as part of a global family of brands.
• Regular team get togethers, from our team drinks to our (pretty special!) bi-annual parties – we know how to have a good time!
• An annual diversity and inclusion calendar of events creating opportunities for you to learn, celebrate and make a positive impact.

• Get in touch with experts from OpenUp to balance work and life or any other mental-wellbeing related topic.
