Commis de Cuisine Your start with taste, team spirit and curiosity (m/f/d)

Branch: Tourism, hotels and restaur... Branch: Tourism, hotels and restaurants


We are the Hotel Maier – an urban rural hotel with an attitude For four generations we have been hosting with conviction. What began in 1936 as a small café with three guest rooms is today a family-run hotel with a clear stance: We want to make conscious travel and make good work – for our guests and for our team. Our house is located in Friedrichshafen-Fischbach, just steps from the lake. Here we combine rural cordiality with urban clarity: 75 individually furnished rooms and four apartments, spacious meeting rooms in our architecturally excellent Hofhaus, a spacious garden and our à la carte restaurant „Speiserei“ with regional handwriting and craftsmanship. We believe in the power of good places – places that work through atmosphere, substance and authenticity. That is why we rely on reliable values such as collegiality, quality, liability and honest cooperation. Our focus is not on the fast effect, but on sustainable impact – for guests and team. Since 2024, Zeppelin has also been part of the Fennel Group – a second location on the lake, which embodies retreat, wideness and silence. Both houses are connected by a common idea: We create spaces that remain in memory because they are harmonious – architectural, atmospheric and human. As an employer, we rely on a modern, respectful and binding work culture. We work in clear structures with flat hierarchies, place value on communication at eye level and create space for personal development. We know that good work needs trust, time for quality – and people who want to shape it. Maybe we'll see each other soon – by the lake.

Type of employment: Full time

Your tasks • Your profile • What we offer

As Commis de Cuisine, you are part of our kitchen crew in the food shop – in the middle of what is happening, with open view, growing tasks and an environment that encourages you and demands. You support our Chef de Parties in the preparation and preparation of high-quality foods and learn daily what matters in a well-organized kitchen: care, reliability and a strong coexistence. Whether at Mise en Place, in the running service or at the setting of plates – you work structured, clean and attentive. You monitor the quality of the ingredients, revert to food and keep an overview even in hectic moments. At the same time, you take more and more responsibility in your area – naturally with back cover from the team. You also count behind the scenes: you pay attention to a hygienic workplace, help in the professional storage of goods, supports in day cleaning and workflows throughout the kitchen. You develop a sense of quality – not only on the plate, but also on the team. What do you get for that? A professional, warm environment in which craftsmanship, appreciation and humour belong together – and a strong team looking forward to you.

You don't need perfect skills – but a real motivation to learn how to cook from scratch. An honest interest in food, a safe feeling for cleanliness and a watchful look for processes are a good basis to start with us. You should be willing to take responsibility, even if you are still new – because with time you grow into it. If you've completed a cooking training, we'll be happy. You are equally welcome when you come from the hospitality, service or agriculture and want to change to the kitchen. It's not your title, it's your attitude. What you should bring: reliability, care and team spirit. You work clean, stay focused – even if you have to go fast – and you don't have to ask any questions or try something new. You think, help and develop – both professional and human. If that's all right, you'll have the best conditions to arrive as Commis de Cuisine in the food shop – with taste, team spirit and curiosity.

Working with meaning – our promise to you

These principles are of course for us (but perhaps worth mentioning) We award permanent contracts – with the exception of classical training or internships. This is of course, but we like to mention it. Our working time models are clearly regulated: We reliably record all times – using modern working time accounts and a user-friendly service plan app. We pay via tariff – reliable and comprehensible. Holiday and Christmas money are governed by the tariff regulations. Supplements for night, Sunday and holiday work can be paid in advance as tax-free flat-rate allowances for regular use. In our back and front office areas we work on modern, well-designed workplaces – functional, digitally connected and welcoming. Our digitalization concept focuses on people: Recurring tasks are automated so that more time remains for the essential.

We put another one on We don't start with an appreciation of the work contract. We want you to feel welcome from the first day – with thoughtful benefits and reliable conditions: Our staff dinner is more than a meal: freshly cooked, varied and with products that we stand behind. Organic coffee, juices or small extras are included – only the money-value advantage is taxed. We will give you two extra days each year. If you volunteer, another free day will be added as a recognition for your commitment. For a successful entry we will pay you an entry fee of 1,000 euros (500 euros after the trial period, 500 euros after one year – gross, with unannounced employment). Who returns brings experience with: We expect to see a new activity at the Hotel Maier or Zeppelin. Family members, friends benefit from attractive special conditions for overnight stays and restaurant visits – also in the dining area and the Pinus. If you need support in the apartment search, we actively help. In urgent cases, we allow temporary accommodation at Hotel Maier – uncomplicated and reliable.

We are a family business – and you can see that When it comes to it, we stand together – that applies in both directions. Our structures are slim. We make decisions transparent – and often together. Our guests experience us as a team – because we work as such: respectful, coordinated and solution-oriented. We pay tribute to personal occasions with small attentions, vouchers or additional free days – depending on the situation. Christmas and summer celebrations are among us – in the circle of all our colleagues from the Hotel Maier and Zeppelin. If you have ideas for team events or joint activities, we are open and happy to support. Flexible working time models are tuned to your life situation – so that profession and private life remain in line.

How we work We work binding, friendly and with care. Our attitude: professional, but never stiff – turned, but with clear line. In our teams, every responsibility – at eye level, with design space and mutual trust. We appreciate constructive feedback and promote a culture of dialogue that is geared towards further development. Our internal employee app connects all areas – it facilitates exchange and keeps us up to date.

We also have a lot to offer for your free time Our cooperations open up access to a versatile world of benefits – with special conditions on brand products, services and leisure activities. For private travel, more than 600 partner hotels are available at discounted rates. Many of our producers offer you shopping opportunities for corporate conditions – fair, direct and high quality. As part of the team you will receive a Lake Constance Card Plus every year – for three exciting days with the family in our region.

Mobility & accessibility Our locations are easily accessible – by train (Bahnhof Fischbach) and private bus stop directly at the hotel. Guests arriving by car will find free parking in the nearby area. For bicycles covered pitches are available – practical and well located.

Additional financial provisions – individually compatible In certain cases, additional benefits may be agreed as a salary component. The exact configuration takes place in a personal conversation – binding and written in the contract: Travel expenses are possible with regular work paths – adapted to distance and individual situation. We can agree on childcare grants based on needs – always with a view to practical feasibility. We will check further benefits on request – provided that You are taxable and reasonable for both sides. Please note: Not all of these benefits are covered by a flat-rate scheme. We openly communicate which regulations can be made individually.

What we're still working on – because you know you're never done with everything We continuously develop our working world – with projects that strengthen us as companies and support you as a team: Sustainability & common good We strive for the bio-certification of our restaurant – as a clear commitment to quality and responsibility. The hotel will also be certified according to recognised sustainability standards. The completion of our common good balance is in work – it will serve as a strategic control instrument. Personal Development & Culture By mid-2025, we want to implement a continuous training and development concept – practical, systematic and accessible. A new fashion line for working time is in preparation – functional, identity-giving and convenient. In addition, we continue to expand our network of local partners – with advantages for you also outside the working hours.

Health and safety We develop a supplementary insurance concept – with voluntary supplementary benefits and occupational pensions. Mobility A bicycle leasing model (JobRad) is planned – as a contribution to sustainable mobility and personal comfort.

Good to know All contractual and financial regulations can be found in the Intranet – or can be explained directly with us in conversation or in contract signing.

''And if something doesn't work as we describe it here, we have an open ear. Contact us or contact us directly. We stand for our word – in dialogue and for the good of all.''
