Event Kitchen Chef (m/f/d)

Show us your strengths and become part of our team!
The Ryago AG, embedded in the renowned Wyniger Gruppe, stands for creative culinary concepts and extraordinary events in Basel and the region. We take responsibility, guarantee success, and put people – guests as well as employees – at the center.

Modern gastronomic understanding is not foreign to you and your culinary ambition strives for perfection. You are an organizational talent in the kitchen, have experience in conducting larger events, and bring sound administrative knowledge as well as proficient IT skills.
We are looking for an experienced leadership personality who significantly supports and further develops the operation.

Your Mission

You take on the overall responsible planning, organization, and implementation of high-quality events of different types and sizes, from exclusive banquets and corporate events to cultural events, seminars, and customized special formats.

During events, you lead the entire kitchen area strategically and operationally and ensure a first-class, smooth process in all phases. In doing so, you provide professional and personnel leadership to the kitchen teams at various locations, take over deployment planning, and specifically promote the further development of employees, with a focus on quality, efficiency, and sustainable team performance.

You design, plan, and realize demanding menu concepts that take into account individual customer wishes, seasonal premium products, economic framework conditions, and defined quality standards, while simultaneously contributing to the continuous further development of banquet documentation.

In close, partnership-based cooperation with event managers, project leads, as well as selected external partners and service providers, you ensure a smooth and professional implementation of all processes.

In addition, you actively design, structure, and optimize the kitchen and work processes to ensure a modern, efficient, and future-oriented operation. You take responsibility for all administrative tasks in the kitchen area, including planning, coordination, controlling, and professional follow-up.

What You Bring

You have completed training as a Koch/Köchin EFZ or an equivalent gastronomic qualification and bring several years of professional and leadership experience in a responsible function, ideally in an event, banquet, or large-scale event environment. The leadership, development, and deployment planning of employees are as natural to you as building high-performance, committed teams.

You think strategically, act entrepreneurially, and take responsibility with clarity and decisiveness. A structured, independent, and reliable way of working is as central to you as a strong understanding of quality and service. Even in complex, dynamic situations with high demands, you maintain an overview and make well-founded decisions.

Resilience, flexibility, and a confident handling of changing requirements as well as irregular working hours in the event environment characterize you. You communicate stylistically confident in German, both spoken and written; additional language skills are an advantage. A driver's license of category B completes your profile.
