Team Lead, Kitchen

Are you a passionate leader who loves developing both people and great food experiences? Are you curious about the food scene, new trends and how great food can contribute to an extraordinary guest experience? Then this might be the perfect match for you!

About the F&B Team
At LEGO House, our Food & Beverage team consists of up to 125 colleagues across four areas: MINI CHEF Restaurant, Café BRICKACCINO, Food Truck and Kitchen. Together, we serve up to 1,500 meals daily. You will be one of four Team Leads in the department.

Your Role
At our restaurant MINI CHEF, food and play come together. As our Team Lead, Kitchen, you will lead a passionate kitchen team and play a key role in shaping and developing our food offering. You will combine strong leadership with a genuine passion for food, menu development and building memorable moments for families and guests from all over the world.

As Team Lead, Kitchen, you will:

• Lead, coach and develop the Kitchen team, creating an engaging and supportive environment on the floor.

• Set a clear direction for the team and translate priorities into strong daily operations and great guest experiences.

• Take ownership of menu development and bring new ideas to life, collaborating across departments to create inspiring food concepts for our different outlets and special occasions.

• Manage pricing, budgets and food costs, while actively reducing food waste and ensuring a strong balance between quality, sustainability and commercial performance.

• Create a strong culture of collaboration, accountability and continuous improvement

Who You Are
First and foremost, you are a strong and engaging people leader. You know how to set direction, create followership and develop people, while being close enough to the operation to understand what your team needs to succeed.

At the same time, you are genuinely passionate about food and menu development. You take pride in creating menus that inspire and excite, and you are curious about what is happening on the food scene. You enjoy turning inspiration and trends into concepts that work both creatively and operationally.

We imagine that you:

• Have solid leadership experience from a professional kitchen, restaurant, hospitality or similar food environment.

• Have a strong passion for food, quality and menu development.

• Can balance creativity with operational and commercial considerations.

• Communicate confidently in English. Danish is an advantage, but not a requirement.

What You Can Expect
You will join a diverse and dynamic workplace where you will have the opportunity to put your mark on both the development of our Kitchen team and the future of our food offering.

This is a full-time position with a typical 37-hour work week, though some flexibility is required during peak periods. You can expect to work every third weekend, and evening shifts may occur.
