Gardemanger
Explanation:
Leave term as is. Gardemanger is international. Any cook reading this advertisement etc... knows what a gardemanger is. He /she is usually the one who stays in the kitchen long after it officially closes, due to that guests sometimes take more than their time to make a choice of dessert, cheese or nothing at all. I have worked as a Gardemanger for some years during my apprenticeship and afterwards. It is not a job for softies.
