Breakfast Cook | Chef m|f|gn

The best holiday starts with an exceptional breakfast. Perhaps very soon, it will bear your signature.

The aroma of freshly baked bread. Homemade jams. Butter and cheese from our own farm. Freshly prepared egg dishes and seasonal delicacies.

For us, breakfast is far more than a buffet – it is the first calling card of our house.

That is why we aren't looking for a breakfast chef who simply preps food. We are looking for someone who creates something special every morning with passion, creativity, and attention to detail.

And the best part: while others are only just starting their afternoon service, your shift usually finishes around 2:00 pm – leaving you with plenty of time for family, sports, or the mountains right on your doorstep.

Why us

At Unterschwarzachhof, we combine modern cuisine with genuine regionality. Many of our ingredients stem directly from our own farm – from butter and cheese to meat and homemade jams. These are complemented by high-quality regional produce and seasonal specialities.

The Unterschwarzach Group also includes our hotel, the event location Der Schwarzacher, Die Schmiedalm luxury chalet, and our farm. This variety keeps our kitchen dynamic and provides ample room for fresh ideas and personal development.

You will ensure our guests start their day with a smile.

• Managing and overseeing our high-quality breakfast buffet
• Freshly preparing egg dishes, hot breakfast specialities, and à la minute orders
• Creative presentation and continuous replenishment of seasonal products
• Handling high-quality produce sourced from our own farm and local suppliers
• Taking responsibility for quality, hygiene standards, and smooth morning operations

You will fit right in if you:

• Love working with fresh, high-quality produce
