Sous chef - Osteria Amore Malmö

Sous Chef — Osteria Amore Malmö

Opening March 2026 • Start February 2026 • Lunch & Dinner

Be the engine of a brand-new kitchen. At Amore Malmö, we’re building a modern Italian-inspired restaurant where standards are non-negotiable and egos stay at the door. If you thrive on clean systems, great flavour, and leading by example, this is your move.

Why this role

• Real influence: Pre-opening tastings, dish development, daily specials.
• Leadership: Run the pass, coach the team, set the pace.
• Growth: Clear path to Head Chef as we scale.
• Balance: Predictable rota across lunch & dinner.

What you’ll do

• Lead service at the pass—timing, quality, communication.
• Own prep systems, mise en place, and station standards.
• Train new team members; lead sharp, efficient briefings.
• Support stock/ordering, control waste, watch costs.
• Keep HACCP/food safety spotless; ace audits.
• Pre-opening: equipment checks, recipe cards, menu run-throughs.

How we work

• Zero-ego, solutions-first: We fix problems on the spot and move on.
• Taste leads: Flavour, texture and temperature trump everything.
• Clean & calm: Tight mise en place, quiet bodies/hot plates, tidy pass.
• Standards over shortcuts: Clear specs, labelled containers, verified prep lists.
• Teach & be taught: Everyone coaches; everyone learns.

What we offer

• Competitive salary with predictable scheduling (and two consecutive days off when possible).
• Real input on menus and specials, not just execution.
• Fair overtime policy and proper breaks.
• A genuine chance to step into Head Chef as we expand.

You are

• Quality-obsessed, calm under pressure, guest-focused.
• 3–5+ years in pro kitchens (Italian a plus; curiosity a must).
• Clear communicator who lifts the room and keeps standards tight.
• Organised, punctual, proud of a clean, efficient station.
