Vacatures kok Dordrecht

You don't just cook. You take responsibility. At Putaine, you run your own section. What leaves your station represents you. No shortcuts. No excuses. Just full ownership over your work. Four days a week, at a level where details matter.

Putaine is not your standard fine dining restaurant. This is a place built on focus, sharp execution and working together at a high level. The kitchen is modern and technical, and everything has to be right. From preparation to presentation and service.

You work in a team that takes the craft seriously. The standard is high and you feel it in the pace, communication and how the team works together. During service, there is speed, but also control. Everyone knows their role and works together to deliver the best possible result. 

The team is international and English is the language.

The kitchen is modern and technical. You work with different techniques and build dishes with precision and attention to detail. You work on both an à la carte menu and a chef's menu, which requires pace and control. During service, everything comes down to timing, teamwork and consistent quality.
