Program Details

Our vegetarian café and restaurant goes extremely busy over Summer. And all extra hands are welcome. We are a small international team running it and you will learn a lot about fast and yummy vegetarian cooking –lovely food from simple and cheap things like potatoes, cabbage, beetroot and lentils – and from our philosophy of living and working alone and in a team.

We will offer you the opportunity to try a long row of different functions in the short time you are here. And you will most likely be in every single function too short time to really learn it. It also takes us resources to tell you things and train you in the different functions. Therefor we do not expect you to create value for us. And that is not the point either. The business has the purpose of helping people to grow and understand themselves and the world. We take the concept of cultural exchange very seriously.

Activities & Shift

We can plan the shifts so they work for you. Either from the morning or in the evening. There are different tasks in the kitchen like peeling, washing, chopping, stirring and cleaning. It seems simple, but there is a lot to learn! There is communicating with and serving guests, there is cleaning tasks around the house like hoovering and dishwashing. You can also learn to prepare the B&B rooms. That also takes a lot of training to do it right.
You are here to learn about how a vegetarian restaurant with B&B in Sweden functions. It's culture, it's ways and it's purpose of serving people and improving their quality of life and hopefully also teaching them better ways to live and eat.

Rules

Please follow our instructions. Restaurant work can be hard and demanding and kitchen work very dangerous – working with knifes, and machines, boiling soups etc. Take good care! At all time follow your kitchen leader and never do things you are not instructed to do. Make sure that your travel insurance covers accidents.
