Hotelis Executive, Hotelis's specialised department for recruiting executives and managers in the hospitality and catering sectors, is currently exclusively mandated to support a recognised player in the restaurant industry in French-speaking Switzerland in recruiting their future:

This role is aimed at a hands-on professional, close to their teams, wishing to invest in a genuine development project. Leading the catering activities, you will play a central role in operational organisation, team structuring, and the evolution of the culinary offer.

As an active Head Chef working daily in the kitchen, you will be responsible for the culinary offer of a bistronomic-style restaurant as well as the banquet activities, which represent a significant part of the establishment's business. A true hands-on person, you will be present alongside your teams to ensure the quality of services, smooth operations, and the proper running of services. In direct contact with management and leading your brigade, you will support the teams in a dynamic of change and contribute to developing a shared culture focused on quality, rigour, and operational efficiency. As the guardian of the establishment's culinary identity, you will actively participate in evolving the offer by developing a convivial, generous, and accessible brasserie cuisine, while respecting the venue's DNA and the defined objectives. As a proactive contributor, you will help structure processes, optimise organisation, and develop activities.

With a solid initial training in cooking, your career has allowed you to successfully hold the position of Head Chef for several years in recognised establishments, both in traditional catering and in the banquet and event sectors. Comfortable with large production volumes as well as "à la carte / à la minute" service, you are above all a hands-on professional, passionate about your craft and quality-oriented. A recognised manager, you know how to unite your teams, support change, and establish constructive collaboration between different activity areas. Organised, pragmatic, and results-oriented, you easily combine culinary creativity, operational excellence, and cost control. Your leadership, organisational skills, and operational presence enable you to mobilise your teams around ambitious goals while maintaining a positive and supportive working atmosphere. Comfortable with common IT tools, management indicators, and hygiene and food safety standards, you also possess an entrepreneurial spirit and a genuine sensitivity to business development.

We offer you the opportunity to take the reins of the culinary activities of a recognised player in the restaurant industry in French-speaking Switzerland and to play a central role in a development and transformation project. You will have the chance to bring your vision, ideas, and creativity to the evolution of the culinary offer, team organisation, and optimisation of operational processes. The autonomy granted, the diversity of tasks, and the strong decision-making power associated with this role will allow you to have a concrete impact on the establishment's performance and the quality of services delivered daily. Operating in a dynamic environment combining bistronomic catering, banquet activities, and event services, you will benefit from a varied, paced, and stimulating position, offering real responsibilities as well as wide autonomy in managing your projects. You will join a recognised structure where your expertise, leadership, and ability to unite will be fully valued within an ambitious and sustainable project.
