About Huuva

Huuva Kitchens turn local communities into culinary hotspots by catering the best dishes from the hottest restaurants worldwide. Lunches, brunches, suppers or dinners. Local favourites and international specials. Pop-ups and fresh drops. With Huuva, there’s always something new that you can mix and match to be delivered to your door with superior convenience and quality.

Huuva operates a network of local kitchens that plug into the local and global food scene, making those experiences accessible beyond the most central city locations with always something new to discover. As our dishes are made locally, they also come to you faster. Saving time, money and the environment.

Our kitchen technology enables our chefs to focus on the most important thing – the quality and joy of making the best dishes, all curated and cooked by people with a passion for great food and an appetite for what comes next. This is the power of the most advanced kitchen platform ever created.

About the Role

We're hiring a Kitchen Operations Associate to join us in building the most exciting food service in Berlin. As a team player and doer, you'll work closely with Huuva Venue Managers to reach operational goals and support the setup of new Huuva Kitchens from scratch.

This can include, for example, implementing new brands, iterating the kitchen layout and equipment, negotiating supplier deals, supporting recruiting, training the kitchen crew, redesigning the menu, and simplifying inventory, among other things.

• You have a high bar for your work, and you demand the same from your peers and team members.

• Excellent communication skills in German and English

• You can grasp operational numbers quickly and translate them into actionable improvements on the kitchen floor.
