Kitchen Manager – Milky Amsterdam

Ready to build more than just a kitchen?

At Milky Amsterdam, we're not just serving guests—we're building one of Amsterdam's fastest-growing hospitality brands.

With a strong reputation, ambitious growth plans and multiple future A-locations, we're looking for an experienced Kitchen Manager who wants to grow with us and play a key role in our journey.

This is an opportunity to lead, improve, build systems and become part of a company with long-term ambitions.

About the Role

As Kitchen Manager, you will be fully responsible for the daily operation of the kitchen.

You will lead the kitchen team, ensure exceptional food quality, manage inventory, optimise processes and work closely with management to continuously improve our operations.

We're looking for someone who takes ownership, leads by example and enjoys building efficient systems rather than simply maintaining them.

Your Responsibilities

• Lead and manage the daily kitchen operation.
• Ensure consistent food quality and presentation.
• Supervise and develop the kitchen team.
• Manage inventory and stock levels.
• Prepare supplier orders.
• Monitor food cost and minimise waste.
• Ensure HACCP and hygiene standards are maintained.
• Improve kitchen organisation and workflows.
• Coordinate closely with management.
• Maintain equipment and report maintenance issues.
• Ensure opening and closing procedures are completed correctly.
• Continuously identify opportunities to improve efficiency and quality.

Who We're Looking For

You are someone who:

• Has experience leading a professional kitchen.
• Has strong organisational skills.
• Takes ownership and responsibility.
• Can motivate and coach a team.
• Works well under pressure.
• Is proactive and solution-oriented.
• Pays attention to detail.
• Thinks beyond today's service and focuses on long-term improvements.
• Wants to grow with an ambitious company.

What We Offer

• A leadership position within a growing hospitality company.
• The opportunity to help shape and improve our kitchen operations.
• A supportive and ambitious management team.
• Opportunities for personal and professional growth.
• The chance to contribute to future expansion to multiple locations.
• A dynamic and fast-paced working environment where your ideas matter.

Our Vision

Our ambition is clear.

We are building a company that operates through strong systems, exceptional guest experiences and outstanding operational standards.

Over the coming years, we aim to expand to multiple A-locations in Amsterdam, continue improving our organisation and create a hospitality brand recognised for quality, innovation and operational excellence.

We're looking for people who don't just want a job—we're looking for people who want to build something exceptional.

If you're ambitious, thrive on responsibility and want to be part of an exciting growth journey, we'd love to hear from you.

Join Milky Amsterdam and help us build the future of hospitality.
