Deputy Head of Stewarding

Deputy Head of Stewarding (m/f/d | 100%)
Today FC Basel. Tomorrow Messe Zürich. The day after tomorrow a congress and in between an exclusive menu for 1'000 guests at a corporate event. Anyone who leads our kitchen needs more than culinary skill. It is about a strong team that reliably brings the best quality to the plate at the right place at the right time. As one of the largest event caterers in Switzerland, Wassermann & Company plans, organizes, and recipes events for customers from sports, culture, and business. These include FC Basel, the Swiss Indoors, the Baloise Session, Art Basel, and numerous concerts. You move in the lively environment of event catering at top locations in Basel and Zürich -- from the Messe to the Congress Center to the Musical Theater or Stadtcasino.
