We represent experienced chefs, sous chefs, hosts, service staff, and event managers with proven backgrounds in luxury hospitality.
All share the same mindset: discipline, elegance, and pride in service. They are more than staff, they’re ambassadors of excellence.
We believe in relationships, not rosters.
Where most agencies focus on filling shifts, we focus on building trust and continuity. Every match we make is personal, thoughtful, and aligned with both the venue’s identity and the professional’s ambitions.
Always.
We value personal contact, whether you prefer a call, email, or meeting. You can reach us via info@chefandserve.nl or by phone during office hours.
Shift Manager is an integrated portal for our professionals and clients. It allows easy scheduling, confirmations, and communication, saving time and avoiding misunderstandings.
You’ll receive a secure login once your partnership begins.
Every chef and hospitality professional we represent goes through a personal interview and skill assessment. We look beyond experience, we match mindset, attitude, and presentation.
Only those who meet our high standards of professionalism and hospitality become part of our network.
Very fast. Our network is active and available 7 days a week.
