Floor Manager / Supervisor

Our Bistro Berlage is open six days a week, from 10:00 AM to 9:00 PM, serving both lunch and dinner. In the summer, we have a large terrace right in front of the Bistro as part of the Beursplein. Do you enjoy contributing to an unforgettable night out for our guests in a contemporary and elegant restaurant? Then this role is perfect for you!

Bistro Berlage is part of De Beurs van Berlage. The Beurs may not be the newest ‘place to be’ in Amsterdam, but it is certainly one of the most famous. Since 1903, this impressive venue has been an international hotspot. It’s a dynamic location in the heart of the city, where exciting things happen every day—conferences, events, parties, fairs, exhibitions, and much more. All of these take place within a building that spans 16,000 square meters and can host up to 2,600 guests.
