Head Chef - Amsterdam

Ready to get INKed?

Got the talent? We’ve got the kitchen.

At PRESSROOM, our vibrant restaurant at INK Hotel Amsterdam - MGallery, we're on the lookout for a passionate and hands-on Head Chef with strong leadership skills. Do you thrive in an open kitchen, love curating flavor-driven dishes, and have a drive to lead a dedicated team? Then this might just be the next chapter in your culinary story.

Your Role: The Script

As Kitchen Chef, you lead a close-knit team of around seven colleagues, ensuring seamless service across breakfast, lunch, and dinner in our à la carte restaurant. From our open kitchen, you’ll not only deliver high-quality dishes but also provide an engaging and professional experience for our guests.

You’re calm under pressure, maintain a spotless workspace, and fully adhere to all HACCP regulations. Beyond the restaurant, you’ll also oversee meals for In-Room Dining and two intimate meeting rooms—bringing your creativity to life through custom menus tailored to special requests.

Sharing your knowledge and supporting your team’s growth comes naturally to you. You’re detail-oriented, keep mise-en-place under control, and communicate clearly about inventory needs. In short: you lead by example.

The Setting: The INK Story

INK Hotel Amsterdam – MGallery is a lifestyle hotel with a unique history. Once home to the Dutch newspaper ‘De Tijd’, stories were imagined, written, and printed right within our walls. Today, we continue that storytelling tradition.

Our restaurant PRESSROOM is the hotel’s living room, where both locals and guests come together. We serve modern classics with bold, clean flavors, and our talented mixologists craft cocktails that tell a story of their own. PRESSROOM is more than a restaurant—it’s an experience.
