Primary location: Lahti. El Toro is a Spanish-inspired restaurant known for good food and wine, located in Lahti city center. The restaurant has served customers since 1981 and is famous for its juicy steaks and Mediterranean delicacies. We seek a new kitchen colleague for the cook role. We offer a permanent position (about 20 hours/3 weeks) in a legendary Lahti restaurant with a history of over 40 years.

We value initiative, hard work, expertise, and a positive attitude towards customer service. You are either already a trained cook or near completion of studies and have prior experience in an à la carte restaurant. You are naturally fast and eager to learn. The kitchen at El Toro is all about teamwork; good teamwork is essential. This role requires flexibility and commitment. We offer a team you’ll enjoy working with, skilled colleagues who will coach you, a diverse work environment in a respected steakhouse, opportunities to gain experience and grow within a large cooperative, and the possibility to take extra shifts at other Hämeenmaa locations. In addition: an hourly wage according to the collective agreement for travel, restaurant and leisure services (10.96–15.04 EUR/h), influenced by prior experience and education.
