The partnership
Two organisations, one goal: dignity for the profession
APCI has always promoted the growth of Italian chefs through continuous training, gastronomic culture and a nationwide network of professionals. Restworld brings its own way of doing hospitality recruiting: transparency, offers compliant with the national contract minimums, and a selection curated by people. Together we build projects for those who cook and for those who run a kitchen every day.
If you cook
Browse offers with the salary always stated upfront, apply in minutes, and let us handle the selection. If an application does not go through, you always receive an explanation. The service is free for job seekers.
If you are hiring
We write the job post with you, get it in front of the right people and send you only candidates in line with your search. You pay €19.90 per day only while your search is active, with no subscriptions.

- 2Under «Professional associations» pick APCI
- 3From then on the badge shows on every application you send
Add the badge to your profile
The badge does not change how candidates are ranked: it says who you are, it does not decide for you.
