Experienced cooks usually already have a job and rarely respond to vacancies. On JobFunders, there are 400+ vacancies for cooks open in Flanders (surveyed in September 2026): you are therefore competing with many other employers for the same people.<\/li>\n<li><b>Typical regimes.<\/b> Split shifts during the afternoon and evening, weekend work, seasonal work on the coast or at events, or fixed day shifts in the large-scale kitchens of companies, schools, and healthcare institutions.<\/li>\n<li><b>This is how Jobby helps.<\/b> Jobby doorzoekt 24\/7 talentpools met 260.000+ profielen en activeert ook passieve kandidaten die niet op vacatures reageren. De eerste sms-uitnodigingen vertrekken binnen 2 minuten na activatie; je eerste kandidaten zie je binnen 48 uur. Zet je &#8220;zelfstandig kunnen koken&#8221; en &#8220;beschikbaar in het weekend&#8221; als must-have, dan krijg je enkel kandidaten die daaraan voldoen. En omdat Jobby ook passieve kandidaten activeert, bereik je ook koks die vandaag in een andere keuken staan.<\/li>\n<li><b>Examples of must-haves.<\/b> Set your own requirements for your job, such as the ability to cook independently, knowledge of HACCP, weekend availability, or experience with \u00e0 la carte or banqueting.<\/li>\n<li><b>Extra hands for the busy period.<\/b> You can also work with flexi-jobbers for extra shifts. In the hospitality industry, the minimum flexi-wage is \u20ac12.11 per hour (from September 1, 2026). Read <a href=\"https:\/\/www.jobfunders.com\/nl\/kostprijs-flexijobber\/\">what a flexi-job worker costs<\/a>.<\/li>\n<li><b>Fair price.<\/b> An annual subscription of \u20ac1,500 (Solo) to \u20ac6,000 (Scale) with a match guarantee, or \u20ac100 per approved candidate. A free ATS is included and there are no selection fees.<\/li>\n<li><b>And compared to interim?<\/b> As a market average, a traditional interim agency charges a coefficient of approximately 2.10 on the gross salary for the duration of the interim period. If you still wish to start on an interim basis, Jobby finds and screens the candidate, and you work via payroll for an interim partner at a market-average coefficient of approximately 1.60. These are estimates: adjust them with your figures in the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.jobfunders.com\/nl\/rekruteringskosten-calculator\/\">recruitment cost calculator<\/a>. If you need chefs who are immediately available at very short notice, an interim agency can be the right choice.<\/li>\n<\/ul><\/div>\n<div class=\"bronnen\">\n<h3>Official sources<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/minimumlonen.be\/document.html?jcId=ceaa4cb322cc4933bdb1b933335760ee\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Minimum wage database: Joint Committee 302 (hospitality)<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/werk.belgie.be\/sites\/default\/files\/content\/documents\/Internationaal\/Limosafiches\/Detachering302.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">FPS WASO: information sheet PC 302<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.jobfunders.com\/nl\/loon-horeca\/\">The minimum wage in the hospitality industry in 2026<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.jobfunders.com\/nl\/horecapersoneel-vinden\/\">Find hospitality staff<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.jobfunders.com\/nl\/vacatures-kok\/\">Vacancies for cooks<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n<p>[\/et_pb_fullwidth_code][\/et_pb_section][et_pb_section fb_built=&#8221;1&#8243; fullwidth=&#8221;on&#8221; admin_label=&#8221;JFF faq&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.27.4&#8243; custom_padding=&#8221;0px|0px|0px|0px&#8221; custom_margin=&#8221;0px|0px|0px|0px&#8221;][et_pb_fullwidth_code admin_label=&#8221;JFF faq code&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.27.4&#8243;]<\/p>\n<style>\n  .jfw .faq { padding:72px 0; }\n  .jfw .faq .wrap { max-width:820px; }\n  .jfw .faq h2 { font-size:clamp(24px,3.2vw,32px); font-weight:800; color:var(--navy9); text-align:center; }\n  .jfw .faq details { margin-top:14px; background:var(--card); border-radius:12px; padding:18px 22px; }\n  .jfw .faq summary { font-weight:700; cursor:pointer; color:var(--navy9); }\n  .jfw .faq details p { margin-top:10px; color:var(--soft); font-size:15px; }\n  .jfw .faq details a { color:var(--or6); font-weight:700; }\n  .jfw .faq .kruis { margin-top:30px; padding-top:20px; border-top:1px solid var(--line); font-size:14.5px; color:var(--soft); }\n  .jfw .faq .kruis a { color:var(--or6); font-weight:700; white-space:nowrap; }\n<\/style>\n<div class=\"jfw\">\n<section class=\"faq\">\n<div class=\"wrap\">\n<h2>Frequently Asked Questions<\/h2>\n<details open>\n<summary>In which category does a chef in the hospitality industry fall?<\/summary>\n<pee>In the sectoral job classification of Joint Committee 302, a cook working alone is listed in Category VIII, the assistant cook working alone in Category VII, and the chef de partie in Category VI.
