Waiter / Chef de Rang Ghent (m/f/x) (ref. RS)

About the company

Help build a gastronomic story with Michelin ambitions.

Your tasks

Gastronomy is not just on the plate. It also lives in the dining room. For some people, service is about taking orders and carrying plates. For you, it goes beyond that. You derive energy from creating a total experience. You sense what guests need, communicate smoothly and professionally, and understand that the smallest details often make the biggest difference.

• You contribute to a warm, professional, and unforgettable experience for every guest
• You present dishes and guide guests through a gastronomic menu
• You work closely with the kitchen and the sommelier to provide flawless service
• You uphold the high standards that belong to a gastronomic setting
• You take the lead in the further expansion of the non-alcoholic offering and help develop this segment further
• You have at least 2 years of demonstrable experience within a gastronomic environment. This is an absolute must
• We make an exception for exceptional talent: graduates from a renowned hotel school or culinary school who consciously choose the dining room and have the ambition to develop rapidly within gastronomy
• You are spontaneous, positive, and radiate a natural joie de vivre
• You feel at home in contact with guests and communicate smoothly and professionally
• You understand the etiquette, finesse, and expectations that belong to gastronomic service
• You have an interest in wine and look forward to growing further in this alongside an experienced sommelier
• You are ambitious and see a future for yourself within the dining room, with the ambition to grow towards maître
• Languages are important within this role. Ideally, you speak fluent Dutch. English-speaking candidates are also eligible, provided they can express themselves professionally, neatly, and without an accent. Additionally, we expect you to fully master a gastronomic menu of 12 to 15 courses. The menu is composed in French, making correct pronunciation and presentation of the dishes essential

Requirements

This vacancy is not for everyone. We are looking for someone who understands the expectations of a gastronomic setting and who gains energy from an environment where quality, pace, and guest experience go hand in hand.
