De Plesman is based in a historic monument, and is currently transformed into a brand-new lifestyle hospitality concept. All the (wonderful - if we can say so) basics are there: an astonishing monumental building, a restaurant, a bar, a gym and meeting rooms. But de Plesman is not your regular hotel, we do things differently around here.
So.. What is different you ask? We are bold. We are looking for someone who wants to evolve hospitality together with us. We believe our team members are at the heart of our hotel and make it such a special place. We can't do this alone though, and hence we are looking for you to lead the daily operations of our bar 'Albert' at De Plesman.
Do you recognize yourself?
You don't consider yourself precious cargo: we leave our pride at the door and are the first ones to raise their hand in order to help each other to get things done. We are a team, every day of the week.
You are a hundred per cent yourself. You're fun and kind. You take your job seriously, but yourself not too much. You believe sharing a few laughs goes a long way.
You are not afraid to make bold choices in order to ensure guests have truly amazing experiences. Making the right decision on the spot comes naturally to you.
You want to be part of a team that works hard, supports each other and has fun along the way.
What will you be doing?
As Bar Manager, you'll boldly take charge of the daily operations of our bar, Albert, where fun and sophistication come together to create a standout experience.
Your curiosity and creativity will shine as you set trends, develop sophisticated new menus and cocktails, all while promoting the bar to external guests and businesses.
You will ensure kind, personalized guest experiences by evaluating satisfaction, focusing on improvement areas, and training and motivating your team to boldly exceed guest expectations.
With a fun yet professional approach, you'll take responsibility for recruiting and evaluating your team, and setting ambitious departmental goals that align with our sophisticated standards.
You will curiously explore and optimize procedures to boost revenue while improving the management of beverage and staffing costs with a bold and effective strategy. You won't do this alone, you will do this together with the F&B Manager.
You take care of the cost and margin management, finding the right balance between profitability and delivering the highest quality experience.
Small print:
You have more than 2 years of experience in a similar role. You'll be on top of our list if you gained this experience at a 4/5-star hotel.
Ability to work evenings, weekends, and holidays
Excellent knowledge on cocktails, mixology and food pairing
You speak English fluently
You preferably live in the vicinity of The Hague
What's in it for you?
A one-year contract with the intention to extend if we're both satisfied with our collaboration.
A laptop to ensure that you are able to do your job excellently.
Regular team activities; from biking around Den Haag to Thursday team drinks. And maybe you will also have great ideas for our next team outing?
Development opportunities
Discounts on hotels stays and F&B
You are part of a young & dynamic team; and a key player in shaping De Plesman as you are part of our pre-opening team.
