Shiftleader Werkplaats

Werkplaats is a place where all routes meet. Where working hard usually leads to playing harder. The crossroads of artists, entrepreneurs and the business city suits. Work with no office and a coffee with no filter. A place to let ideas flow, and if you are ready to share them with the world, hire a room big enough to.

We are looking for a new hands-on shiftleader for Werkplaats. Werkplaats - on the ground floor of Volkshotel - is a large cafe with terrace and a co-working space for self-employed people and freelancers. It is a meeting place where many different people come together. Werkplaats clearly has two faces, during the day it’s a place for coffee lovers and in the evening for (special) beers. Do you value service and do you have experience in management? Then you might become our new colleague.

Are you:

  • Living in Amsterdam (or the surrounding area)?
  • Representative, socially skilled, stress-resistant and guest-oriented?
  • A team player and born leader?
  • Willing to work late at night and on weekends?
  • Available full time?

This is what your day looks like:

Do you want to stretch before your shift? That’s possible. All employees can participate in the yoga classes of Volkshotel for free. Then you clock in and your shift starts. You work on the floor and manage the daily activities of the cafe. You are the point of contact for colleagues and guests. Amsterdammers, hotel guests and tenants of the Broedplaats come together in Werkplaats. You make the best coffee for them and draft perfect beers. The bar is your domain. Do you want to stay around after your shift is over? Fun! You can use the hot tubs and sauna on our roof for free. Not home yet? You don't have to, as an employee you get a discount on everything (programme, rooms, food and drinks) in the hotel.

You are responsible for, among other things:

  • Day-to-day activities of Werkplaats
  • Training, guiding, motivating and coaching employees
  • Monitoring the quality of our service and products
  • Thinking about general improvement points
  • Optimum deployment of hours by allowing employees to stop/start earlier
  • The decoration and cleanliness of all areas
  • Compliance with occupational health, hygiene and safety regulations (HACCP)

What do we offer:

Werkplaats creëert, net als de andere plekken binnen Volkshotel, ontmoetingen. Hier komen hotelgasten, Amsterdammers, expats, flexwerkers, Broedplaats huurders en personeel binnen om hun plekje in Volkshotel op te zoeken. Omdat Werkplaats zich op de begane grond bevindt, kun je de plek zien als een soort kruispunt. Werkplekken, receptie, zalen en café vloeien hier in elkaar over en zijn met elkaar verbonden. De sfeer is relaxed en ongedwongen en status verdwijnt. Werken gaat hier over in borrelen en misschien rol je daarna zelfs nog door naar andere plekken in het gebouw. Je wordt niet bediend en haalt zelf je drankjes of eten aan de bar.

Volkshotel is een plek waar veel verschillende mensen samenkomen. Dat is de kracht. Volkshotel probeert zo interessant en prettig mogelijke ontmoetingen te faciliteren.


De houding is functioneel en pretentieloos. Open voor alle mensen die open staan voor alle mensen. Ook toegankelijk in prijs.

Alhoewel het hotel pretentieloos is en open staat voor iedereen, doet het niet overdreven zijn best om iedereen te pleasen. Als we hebben bedacht dat iets goed is, dan staan we daarvoor.

Als je het zelf leuk hebt, hebben anderen het ook leuk. We proberen een plezierige omgeving te creëren voor iedereen.
