To the registration

When you arrive at work each morning, you will start by planning your tasks for the day ahead while you wait for the fresh produce you have ordered to arrive. It will be your job to check that everything is of the requisite quality and that the quantity delivered matches the information specified on the delivery note and in the original order. Once it is all accounted for, you will get everything you need to hand to make the dishes you have planned and start preparing the ingredients. You will be required to demonstrate a variety of preparation methods, including steaming, braising, gratinating, grilling, sautéing and poaching. Lunchtime is always a busy time in our staff restaurant, but we never let the hectic pace stand in the way of following important regulations on hygiene, occupational safety, environmental protection and fire prevention.

Training

The training lasts for three years. Throughout your apprenticeship, you will attend compulsory vocational school classes up to twice a week. You may also work towards your vocational school diploma (Berufsmatura) in parallel to your apprenticeship, after consulting V-ZUG Ltd.

  • Keen ability to grasp new ideas

  • Ability to coordinate workflows

  • Creative, experimental mindset

  • Strong manual dexterity

  • Exceptional hygiene

«As a child, I loved to cook for my parents. Now I enjoy putting a smile on our staff's faces with our varied dishes.»  Sandro Iten, apprentice chef
