Your Mission
Together with a kitchen team of 17 people, you will be involved in serving 3,300 meals daily to students and staff at Nacka Gymnasium and Eklidens School. In addition to lunch service, there are a few dinners or lunches each term associated with conferences or celebrations organized by the school.

In the kitchen, everyone helps with the delivery of food upon arrival and with inventory management. Nacka Municipality is at the forefront, which is reflected in our modern kitchen equipment, and digital tools may also be utilized.
We view school meals as an educational resource, and we know that students who are satisfied and well-fed perform better during the school day. Therefore, all kitchen staff play a very important role in the school, and our school restaurant is a central part of the school's operations.
