Finding a motivated chef de partie, an experienced sommelier, or a bilingual maître d’ in Alsace and beyond is a challenge familiar to any hospitality professional. All too often, job postings on general-purpose platforms get lost in a sea of ads unrelated to the industry.
food&good Jobs offers an alternative: a European recruitment platform entirely dedicated to the food and hospitality industries, designed by and for professionals in the sector.
A tool developed in the field
food&good is, first and foremost, an Alsatian story—rooted in a region and driven by a passion to share. Since 2018, the magazine has covered regional gastronomy with a discerning editorial focus: culinary news, profiles of chefs and artisans, thematic features, seasonal recipes, favorites, and top spots.
With a new issue each season, it is available in two complementary formats: a print edition, delivered directly to subscribers by mail, and a digital edition, accessible via an online reader with audio, as well as all back issues (all for €22 per year, including tax). As an extension of this, the foodandgood.fr website publishes articles, features, and news throughout the year in five languages, visible across Europe.
It is within this spirit of connection and trust—as a media outlet read by professionals and enthusiasts who share the same high standards—that food&good Jobs was launched, with the goal of offering restaurateurs, hoteliers, winemakers, wine merchants, and culinary artisans a recruitment platform that reflects who they are, far removed from generalist platforms where relevant applications are scarce and qualified candidates even rarer.
The promise: to connect establishments with candidates who are a good fit for them. And to do so on a European scale, with tools designed for the daily life of a professional who has no time to waste.
From the recruiters' perspective: visibility, flexibility, and control
Posting a job listing on food&good Jobs means reaching a audience that extends far beyond the Alsace region. Listings are visible across Europe and Switzerland, translated into five languages, and shared across all of food&good’s social media channels—an audience already comprised of industry professionals and enthusiasts.
Each establishment has its own dedicated microsite: an introduction to the business, a spotlight on the team and its philosophy, and a gallery of photos and videos. It’s a dynamic space that can be updated as recruitment needs change—activate a job posting, put it on hold, reactivate it seasonally, view application history, and access detailed candidate profiles. All this in just a few clicks, without relying on an external service provider or losing control over your data.
Pricing is clear, transparent, and affordable even for independent businesses: one posting for two months starting at €39 (excl. tax), two postings for €59 (excl. tax), three for €89 (excl. tax). For a restaurant looking to hire both a cook and a server during peak season, the cost-effectiveness is hard to beat.
From the candidates' perspective: a diverse group
For professionals who are actively job hunting or simply keeping an eye out for opportunities, food&good Jobs is completely free. Everyone can create their own secure, confidential personal space that’s accessible at any time. Each profile comes with a QR code and a personal link, which can be shared during direct outreach or included in an unsolicited application.
What sets the platform apart is the video. Each candidate can record a short self-intro (a few minutes to describe their background, goals, and personality) and attach it to their profile.
In professions where interpersonal skills matter as much as technical expertise, this format changes everything: a recruiter immediately sees who they’re dealing with, even before the first interview. Active profiles receive email alerts as soon as a job posting matching their search criteria is published, and can contact school administrators directly without an intermediary.
Why choose food&good Jobs over other sites?
The answer can be summed up in a few words: the relevance of the audience. Who visits food&good Jobs? Professionals in the restaurant, hospitality, sommelier, and artisan food sectors in Alsace, France, and neighboring countries. Not job seekers looking to switch careers who are open to anything. Specialized, trained professionals who understand the true meaning of “service.”
For Alsatian establishments in particular, the cross-border aspect is a decisive advantage. The region attracts German and Swiss candidates, who are accustomed to high standards and are often mobile. A job posting in German on food&good Jobs reaches this natural talent pool that traditional French platforms cannot access.
In an industry where the shortage of skilled labor has become structural, every recruitment channel counts. food&good Jobs isn’t a magic bullet, but it is a targeted, well-managed tool with transparent pricing, backed by a media outlet that industry professionals already read.
Sometimes, the best candidate is found where you wouldn’t have looked first.
