Some people just have it. They walk into a restaurant and immediately bring energy. They see what guests need, know how to inspire colleagues, and get genuine pleasure from exceeding expectations. For our Van der Valk hotel, we are looking for an Assistant F&B Manager who combines hospitality, leadership, and entrepreneurship.

You are visible on the work floor, motivate teams, and together with your colleagues, ensure that every guest has an experience that stays with them. From Restaurant Vloed and MR. Sato to our hotel bar, events, and business meetings: no two days are the same.

You monitor the quality of the operation, identify commercial opportunities, and are given the space to think along about the further development of our restaurants and lunch activities. How can we create even more experiences for our guests? How do we get the best out of our team? And how do we keep improving ourselves? We are not just looking for a manager, but above all someone who takes initiative, sees opportunities, and wants to build further together with us on the future of our F&B department.

As Assistant F&B Manager, you are the connecting factor between the work floor and management. You lead the operational teams, coach supervisors, and ensure that everything runs smoothly. Your responsibilities include:

• The daily management of the F&B department;

• Coaching, guiding, and developing supervisors and employees;

• Ensuring quality, service, and guest satisfaction;

• Identifying opportunities for improvement and translating these into concrete actions;

• Monitoring staff planning, productivity, and costs;

• Supporting events, groups, and banqueting activities;

• Solving operational challenges and switching gears where necessary;

• Taking over the responsibilities of the F&B Manager in their absence.

You are not someone who watches from the sidelines. You are visible on the work floor, coach colleagues, support where necessary, and ensure that the team can bring out the best in themselves every day. At the same time, you look beyond the daily operation.
