(Demi) Chef de Partie - Kranenborg Academy - Amsterdam

Become a Chef at the Amstel – Learn the Craft in the Kranenborg Academy

Curious what it’s like to work in a real kitchen where focus, rhythm, and teamwork are key? At the Amstel Hotel, you’ll learn the craft on the job, alongside an international team and under the guidance of chefs who truly master their profession.

In the Kranenborg Academy, founded by Robert Kranenborg and Executive Chef René Haak, you’ll discover how to prepare a complete dish – from the very first preparations to the moment it leaves the kitchen, including ordering, planning, and communicating.

What to expect:

• Learn from professionals: you’ll work side by side with experienced chefs who guide you step by step.

• Be involved in the full process: you’ll do more than cutting and cooking – you’ll see how a dish comes to life, from mise-en-place to final plating.

• A diverse kitchen: you’ll work in a team with colleagues from all over the world, united by a shared love for cooking.

• Strong conditions: meal allowance, worldwide hotel discounts, travel cost reimbursement, and overtime paid out quarterly.

• A place to grow: we offer personal guidance and give you the space to build confidence and skills.

Who we’re looking for:

• You’re motivated and eager to learn.

• You enjoy working together – even when things get busy.

• You speak Dutch or English, or are open to learning along the way.

• You have some kitchen experience, or you’re ready to learn the craft from the ground up.
