Kosters Trädgårdars Kooperativ runs a restaurant and bakery with a focus on crafts, good raw materials, sustainability and providing inspiration for change. We do this in the middle of Kosters Trädgårdar's lush orchards on the island of Sydkoster outside Strömstad.
During the summer months we have our most intense period. The restaurant is open and we have many employees on site. The restaurant mainly serves lunch, with a few dishes based on seasonal ingredients, as much as possible from our garden.
On weekend evenings, we serve appreciated sourdough pizzas and natural wine. We vary the menus every week depending on what ingredients are available. The rest of the year is calmer and there is more room for cultural events and parties. In addition to this, we also often cook food for participants in the garden's courses.
We are the obvious meeting place and partner for those who want to be involved, experience and create a sustainable and inspiring food culture. We make conscious choices and cherish the food craft. We understand the value of raw materials and with our knowledge we can serve food that makes the earth richer and more alive than how we found it.

You are often the first person to meet the guests and a warm welcome is a big part of their experience.

It is especially important that you have a passion for sustainability, interest in gardening and food and want to develop in the profession. We are looking for you who have previous experience of having worked with food or can show previous suitable experience in service with drinks, food and baking.
As a craft baker with us, you are responsible for the production of sourdough bread, sweet bread and cakes for the restaurant and the gardenshop. The bakery also delivers sourdough bread to a grocery store on the island. You work independently and are prepared to take your own initiatives. We welcome new ideas. The work involves early mornings.

The food we serve needs to be simple but at the same time colorfully beautiful and tasty. During lunch you are responsible for serving, planning and preparing cold cuts for sandwiches, preparing "after beach food", maintaining cleaning routines etc. There may also be evening working hours during weekends as well as with special bookings, where you have an assisting role. On evenings we make sourdough pizza in our stone oven, it can sometimes be you who prepares tasty toppings and then throws the dough in the air to serve Koster's best pizza!
