Head Chef for Prague, Czech Republic

We are looking for an exceptional Head Chef to open our first restaurant in Prague, Czech Republic

Fish are like us - we all swim together. Strange Fish are bold, curious individuals who fit right in here. People who are comfortable being themselves - maybe a little different - and that is exactly why they belong.

And right now, we are starting something new.

Sticks’n’Sushi is opening in the Czech Republic for the very first time, and we are looking for an exceptional Head Chef to lead the way from day one.

This is more than just running a kitchen. It’s your chance to help build a restaurant from the ground up—shaping the team, the standards, and the culture in a brand-new market.

At Sticks’n’Sushi, we combine Danish simplicity with Japanese precision.

And we’re looking for people who want to do things the same way - fully, honestly, and together.

Are you

• An experienced Head Chef - or a strong Sous Chef ready for the next step?
• A leader who can motivate and develop a high-performing kitchen team?
• Calm and focused, even during busy service and high-pressure moments?
• Someone with a strong eye for detail, quality, and consistency?
• Confident in kitchen organisation, hygiene standards, food cost control, and planning?
• A team player with a positive attitude and a hands-on approach?
• Comfortable communicating in English in an international kitchen environment?

What you will be doing at Sticks’n’Sushi

• You will lead and organise the kitchen team, creating structure, energy, and strong daily operations.
• You will ensure consistently high quality across every dish served.
• You will oversee food preparation and service execution, maintaining standards in every detail.
• You will take responsibility for hygiene, safety, cleanliness, and kitchen organisation.
• You will manage stock, ordering, food costs, and kitchen efficiency.
• You will train, coach, motivate, and develop your team - helping people grow alongside the business.
• You will work closely with restaurant management and play a key role in building a successful opening.
• Most importantly, you will help establish the processes, culture, and rhythm of a brand-new kitchen from the very beginning.

What we offer

• Apprenticeship abroad (Germany/Denmark) - you will gain experience directly in our restaurants to get to know Sticks’n’Sushi culture first-hand
• Attractive financial rewards and bonuses
• Working at HPP in an international team
• Attractive financial evaluation
• Stable background of a strong brand and room for growth
• Free food on shift
• Multisport card

You will be part of starting a new brand in the Czech Republic - and this is not just a job, but an opportunity to build something.

Our training is designed to help you succeed, both in- and outside of the role. And there are opportunities abroad (London, Copenhagen, Berlin and more).
