Prep Cook at Papi's Pierogi/Bar Bez Mleczny in Gothenburg

For our plant-based production kitchen, we are in search of a committed, self-driven prep cook with at least three years of experience. This is a crucial part of an expanding idea that combines vegan food production, innovation, nostalgia, and Slavic home cuisine.

About Us

Bar Bez Mleczny is a new concept by Papi's Pierogi. We make plant-based comfort food inspired by Poland and Russia – pierogi, soups, and classic dishes with a modern twist.

Service is provided in a small café in central Gothenburg (Kungsgatan) and in our food truck at events, while all preparation and production takes place in our production kitchen. In this role, instead of à la carte service, the emphasis is on batch production, freezing, and uniform quality.

About the role

You will be working in the production kitchen with batch cooking, packaging, and freezing of plant-based dishes. Start at Ringön, move to new premises in Angered in late Q1 2026.
