Ready to take the next step in your kitchen career and grow as a leader?

At Cocks & Cows in the heart of Copenhagen, we're looking for a full-time Sous Chef to join our dedicated kitchen team. As the original burger kings and queens of Copenhagen, we're passionate about quality food, fast-paced service, and creating memorable experiences for both our guests and our team.

This is a great opportunity for an experienced chef who enjoys leading by example and sees themselves growing into a stronger leadership role over time.

About Cocks & Cows

Cocks & Cows is a well‑known burger concept under NoHo Partners, loved for juicy burgers, a lively atmosphere, and a casual but professional vibe. Our restaurants are busy, social, and full of energy, and our kitchens are at the heart of everything we do.

At our Gl. Strand location, we focus on building a strong, efficient, and supportive kitchen team working closely together every day. We're looking for someone who thrives in a busy environment, takes ownership, and isn't afraid to step up when needed.

Your Role as Sous Chef

As Sous Chef, you'll work closely with the Head Chef and play a key role in the daily operation of the kitchen. You'll help ensure smooth service, high food quality, strong kitchen standards, and a positive team culture.

You'll be expected to take the lead when the Head Chef is not on shift, helping guide and support the team while maintaining structure and momentum during busy services.

We're looking for someone who is passionate about hospitality, enjoys working with people, and is motivated by the opportunity to develop their leadership skills within a growing restaurant group.

• Brings positive energy, strong communication, and a solution‑focused mindset.
• Stays calm and organised during busy services.
