We are Principe di Salina, a 14-room boutique hotel on the island of Salina, in the Aeolian Islands. For years, our kitchen has been guided successfully by internal family, with a small team executing breakfast, lunch and dinner. Now we're ready for the next step.
We are looking for a **Head of Kitchen** who wants to take ownership of this part of the business and grow with us.
This is **not** a classic ?big hotel chef? role. We are a small, intimate place with limited covers and a strong sense of home. Our idea of food is:
**quality, Mediterranean, seasonal ? but always with the warmth of a home kitchen.**
We're looking for someone who reads this and thinks: *?This could be my place.?*

What you will do
You will be the point person for everything that happens in our kitchen. In practice, you will:
- - Define the **culinary direction together with the management**, in line with the identity of Principe di Salina
- - **Organise and oversee breakfast, lunch and dinner** service
- - **Update and develop menus** that feel like ?home cooking with quality? ? Mediterranean, seasonal, simple but well executed
- - Bring in and structure additional experiences such as **aperitivo, cooking classes and small food events**
- - **Lead and coordinate a small team** in the kitchen (we can hire additional people to support you)
- - Manage **suppliers and kitchen needs**; orders and costs will be handled **in collaboration with head of finance / accountant **, who will take care of the accounting side
- - Ensure consistency, quality and attention to dietary needs and allergies
- - Occasionally interact with guests during cooking classes or special experiences, if this feels natural to you
This role is ideal for someone who prefers a **small, flexible kitchen** over a large, high-volume operation.
