COOK / CHEF IN OUR KITCHEN COLLECTIVE (M/F/D)

COCONAT stands for community and concentrated work in nature

We are a purpose-driven company: rural development is promoted through our innovative tourism model that combines workation, coworking, coliving, and maker spaces, alongside special projects in rural development.

Coconat creates an open and diverse community where everyone can follow their individual and collective visions, no matter the field. Our goal is to provide an inclusive and inspiring environment for all people.

We are looking for a new team member for our kitchen!

We are not necessarily looking for a trained chef but someone with a passion for cooking and experience in preparing large quantities of food. Career changers are welcome!

Our kitchen is vegetarian, often vegan. For lunch and dinner, we serve a buffet dish that is freshly prepared and presented by the chef (m/f/d) each day. Meat, like local game, is served only on special occasions. Our vision is to prepare meals with a high proportion of organic ingredients, preferably from the region, to promote sustainability in the kitchen.
If you have a repertoire of vegetarian and vegan recipes, and meat doesn’t need to be on your plate every day for sustainability reasons, Coconat is the right place for you. Don’t hesitate to apply.
