Banqueting & Events Staff

A guest enters the room looking a bit lost. You notice immediately and approach them with a smile. You welcome the guest, help where necessary, and ensure they feel immediately at ease. You have an eye for what guests need and love to think one step ahead. Together with your colleagues, you ensure that everyone has a wonderful time and that nothing is lacking. And of course, guests know: they can always come to you for questions or a chat!

One time you might help with a cozy social drink, the next time there is a large congress, a small meeting, or a business gathering on the schedule. Together with your colleagues, you ensure that everything is arranged to perfection and that our guests feel welcome.

• You welcome our guests with a smile and serve as their first point of contact;

• You set up the rooms and ensure they are cozy, atmospheric, and neat;

• You have an eye for detail when setting up the room: tables, chairs, crockery, and other necessities are placed exactly as they should be;

• You ensure that everything is clean, well-maintained, and ready before the first guests arrive;

• You keep a close eye on what our guests need and respond in a hospitable manner;

• You work together with your colleagues to ensure that everything runs smoothly during the meeting;

• Afterward, you tear down the room and ensure that everything is left neat and orderly;

• Together with a friendly team, you ensure that everything runs like clockwork. We work hard, help each other, and above all, have a lot of fun!

In short: you ensure that the room looks well-maintained from start to finish, the atmosphere is good, and our guests lack nothing.

Banqueting is hospitality, but just a little bit different! You work at business meetings, conferences, congresses, business drinks, and corporate events, ensuring that everything runs smoothly. From setting up the room in a cozy and neat manner to receiving guests and serving snacks and drinks.

Do you already have hospitality experience and are you looking for something different? Then Banqueting is a fun way to discover another side of the hospitality industry. No hospitality experience yet? No problem! Banqueting is actually a fun and varied way to get acquainted with the hospitality industry.
