Company Description

Proud to present Mövenpick: the place to enjoy life. Inside, we create a space for our guests to enjoy by relaxing at the bar with a delicious cocktail or a creamy cappuccino. In our restaurants, you can discover the most delicious special dishes. We are originally from Switzerland, and we carry this luxurious gastronomic hospitality with us. ‘Enjoying life to the fullest.’ That is our mantra for our guests, but also for you as an employee.

You start every working day together with national and international colleagues in our beautiful 4-star hotel located in The Hague. The team consists of young colleagues who are collegial and friendly towards each other. Despite the different nationalities, we can definitely speak of a close group of colleagues. You will work in a hotel with 72 rooms, a restaurant, coffee & wine lounge and 3 meeting rooms. On a lovely, sunny day, you can choose between a 15-minute walk or a 10-minute cycle ride from the central station. Or you can hop on the bus or tram from the other side of our hotel. In short: we have it all.

You make sure the right orders are placed and you supervise and train the employees when necessary. You make sure - together with the whole team - that everything goes according to the plan and that you hand over the shift carefully to the colleagues who take over. At the end of the shift, you are the one who does the handover to the next shift, therefore the team is always kept up to date with everything that is happening in the hotel. During your internship you will also perform the necessary administrative tasks. For example, processing and checking outsourced working requests, do suggestions regarding the menu cards, making internal orders, etc. You will do this together with the F&B Manager. There are no limits to your abilities. In addition, you will be:

• Available MBO or HBO student for a minimum of 20 weeks, 5 days a week;
• Giving correct information about the drinks and dishes and serving them in the right way;
• Involved in complicated questions, complaints or feedback from our guests;
• Responsible for operationally supporting the F&B teams and, if necessary, performing Supervisor duties;

• Preparing the Restaurant for evening service or tidying up breakfast;
• Preparing the meeting rooms;
• Refilling drinks in the coffee & wine lounge so that all drinks are available.

Your working hours depend on what shift you have that day! Our shifts start with starting breakfast from 6:00 to 14:00, or working in our coffee & wine lounge and restaurant from 15:00 to 23:00. You are open to work different shifts.
