kitchen assistant vacatures in Amsterdam

MAMA MAKAN is looking for a passionate Commis Chef!

At Hyatt Regency Amsterdam, green is more than just a color, it’s our commitment. Situated near the lush Oosterpark and Hortus Botanicus, one of the world’s oldest botanical gardens. We bring the beauty of the great outdoors inside, creating an award-winning living interior.

Mama Makan: the taste of Indonesia

The vibrant Plantage neighborhood has a rich Indonesian history, trading in exotic spices in days gone by. Therefore, it's no surprise that one of the most authentic Indonesian restaurants is part of the Hyatt Regency experience. Mama Makan seamlessly blends in with the hotel lobby, connecting guests to a very special experience. Guests can savor the flavors of Indonesia while learning from our Indonesian team about the spices and stories behind each dish, creating a truly unique journey. You haven’t really had a “rijstafel” until you’ve eaten at Mama Makan!

What Mama seeks:

‘Eating is a necessity, but cooking is an art’ is what Mama says.

She is looking for a passionate Commis Chef who adds some flavour to the culinary restaurant experience.

Someone who loves Indonesian food and everything that revolves around it. The Commis Chef is a team player and an important asset to the whole kitchen team. Someone who cooks for MAMA MAKAN guests like looking at home for his/her own guests.
