Why us

Ready for your next big step? Starting 1 December 2026, we're kicking off the 2026/27 winter season – a full house at Hotel Unterschwarzachhof and full speed at Der Schwarzacher, our après-ski and event location. You like to pitch in, keep your cool when things get busy, and want to work in a kitchen that never stands still?
At Der Schwarzacher, being a kitchen assistant isn't a background job – you're the reason mise en place is ready, plates go out on time, and the team doesn't break a sweat when the house is full.

  • Help with stock management and goods control, so ingredients stay fresh and top quality
  • Keep dishwashing and the kitchen tidy, so the team can work smoothly even at full speed

Your Profile

  • Enthusiasm for working in the kitchen and as part of a team – willingness to pitch in matters most
  • Completed training or professional experience in gastronomy or hospitality is a plus, but not required
  • Flexibility, reliability and resilience, even on days when several hundred guests pass through Der Schwarzacher
  • An eye for detail and a strong sense of cleanliness, so hygiene is never an afterthought
  • Motivation to learn new kitchen skills and keep developing
  • Good German or English, so you can understand and communicate instructions confidently within the team

Our Culture

At Der Schwarzacher, everyone pitches in – whether at the stove or at the sink. When lunchtime à la carte orders come rolling in and ski boots start clattering outside in the afternoon, it doesn't matter who wears the tallest hat, just who's needed right now. That hands-on mentality is what defines our kitchen team – and it's exactly where you come in.

What to look forward to

A kitchen job right in the thick of winter season action, where you're part of the team from day one – not just watching from the sidelines. Experienced cooks who'll show you how a high-volume kitchen really runs, if you want to learn. And days off with slopes, mountain lake and nature right on your doorstep.
