As a chef, you take the culinary total responsibility for the dining in the Maier. Together with us, you develop the kitchen concept, shape the culinary handwriting of the house and make sure that our philosophy becomes a daily experience in quality, taste and attitude. You are responsible not only for the à la carte business, but also for our breakfast, banquet and conference menus as well as the culinary accompaniment of private and business events. In this position you lead your team with clarity, reliability and appreciation. You are planning the use of personnel, structuring processes, accompanying the incorporation of new colleagues and developing staff and junior staff professionally and humanly. Good guidance is not shown in volume for us, but in presence, attitude and ability to remain calm and binding even under pressure. Together with Philipp Heid, our kitchen director, you will continue to shape the culinary line throughout the entire group and contribute to further strengthening its value as a demanding, regionally rooted address with a clear quality profile. You work closely with service, restaurant management and management and ensure that culinary, hospitality and organization are properly interlocked. Of course, your area of responsibility also includes purchasing, goods management, warehouse management, costing and conscious handling of resources. You keep in mind the use of goods and key figures, ensure compliance with all hygiene and quality standards and provide the basis for ensuring that quality, cost-effectiveness and sustainability are matched in everyday life.

You are an experienced guide in the kitchen and combine handcrafted precision with real enthusiasm for regional, seasonal and high-quality products. You understand kitchen not only as a place of cooking, but as a responsibility for quality, structure, economics and team culture. You can organize processes clearly, set priorities and stay calm, present and decision-making even in intensive situations. You keep an overview of the use of goods, costing, storage and personnel without the quality or atmosphere suffering from them. You know that good cuisine does not live by chance, but by clean processes, reliable standards and a team that can rely on each other. In addition to your professional skills, you bring a leadership understanding that suits us: clear in the matter, respectful in handling and binding in everyday life. You can develop employees, initiate junior staff, request performance and at the same time create an environment that focuses, motivates and works with joy. Sustainability, product ethics and conscious use of resources are not decorative terms for you, but part of professional kitchen work. We wish someone who takes responsibility not only, but fills us out – with a view, overview and aspiration to develop a kitchen together, which is rooted regionally and at the same time continues to kulinarally.

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 does not 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.
