Join the Tankstation team as a Chef!

Are you passionate about food, creativity, and building menus that bring joy to people? Tankstation is looking for beginners-to-intermediate chefs to join our friendly and vibrant kitchen.

At Tankstation, we believe in creating a positive environment where creativity flows and friendships are made. It’s not just about cooking; it’s about having fun, trying new ideas, and being part of something exciting!

If you’re a team player with a love for cooking and sharing your culinary skills, we’d love to meet you! Come make your mark in a place where every day is a chance to experiment, connect with great people, and serve delicious dishes.

Workload: The cooking sessions will be from 14:00 to 19:00, either Tuesday or Thursday. You’ll be helped by our volunteers.
