Kock à la carte

We’re looking for an experienced kitchen chef who is familiar with Slavic cuisine (Poland, Russia, Ukraine, Belarus, etc.) to join us at Bar Bez Mleczny on Kungsgatan in central Gothenburg. This is a full-time role including afternoon and evening shifts and a full‑day shift on Saturday. The role focuses on à la carte cooking and plating, preparation before opening, plus purchasing of ingredients.

About us

Bar Bez Mleczny is a new concept from Papi’s Pierogi, offering plant‑based comfort food inspired by Polish and Russian home cooking – pierogi, soups, and classic dishes made modern. Production happens in our prep kitchen, while service runs in the café and at events.

About the role

You’ll be responsible for the service flow in the kitchen, from purchasing ingredients and prep before opening to clean‑down after closing. You should be comfortable working independently, keeping the kitchen organised, and maintaining high standards of taste and presentation.

Job duties

• Purchasing of ingredients and restocking
• Prepare and cook plant‑based dishes during service (pierogi, soups, salads, sides, crepes)
• Do pre‑opening prep such as salads, mashed potatoes, portioning, etc
• Set up the kitchen for service
• Ensure consistent quality, taste, and presentation across all dishes
• Maintain hygiene, cleanliness, and correct labelling throughout the shift
• Keep the kitchen organized after service and prepared for the morning shift

Qualifications

• 3+ years of experience as a cook or chef in a restaurant/service kitchen
• Hands‑on experience with Slavic cuisine (e.g. pierogi/vareniki, borscht, zupa ogórkowa, blini, kotlety, salads, etc.)
• Comfortable taking responsibility for the kitchen during service and making practical decisions
• At least B1 English level (we are an international company)
• Swedish is an advantage
• Polish, Russian, or Ukrainian is a strong plus
• Valid B driver’s license is a strong advantage

Nice to have (but not required)

• Knowledge of vegan or vegetarian cuisine
• Experience with batch‑style prep or working closely with a production kitchen

We offer

• Full-time position in a growing vegan food concept
• Opportunity to shape how evening service runs in a small, creative team
• Market‑typical salary
• 4000 SEK/year wellness allowance
