At TestTafel, creativity, collaboration, and continuous learning are at the heart of everything we do. With a new menu every week, our chefs are directly involved in designing dishes, refining ideas, and pushing culinary boundaries. Our kitchen is egalitarian and non-toxic, with rotating leadership roles to ensure everyone gains experience in different positions—from running the pass to overseeing prep, making the orders and looking for new suppliers that align with our hyperlocal and seasonal menu concept.

This role offers quick access to responsibility—you won’t spend months waiting to lead a service. Instead, you’ll gain hands-on experience in both cooking and kitchen management, learning at a rapid pace. There’s also room to explore your own projects and interests, whether improving aspects of the restaurant or experimenting with new techniques such as fermenting in our lab (and first helping us renovate this lab to be ready for all the fun we have planned).

As we have just relocated to Mediamatic, you will play a key role in this ongoing transition, helping shape the next phase of TestTafel, refining our workflow, and ensuring a smooth move into a larger and more ambitious space. Most importantly, being a valuable member of the team to take TestTafel into the future.
