Improving the processes in our hotel, training your colleagues, and making sure everything runs smoothly at the front office. You achieve that all colleagues have the right tools to make the stay of our guests a success. This is the challenge you are taking up as a front office supervisor at a unique location in large hotel, and crazy event venue in Amsterdam. At Mövenpick we make moments, do you?
Be limitless
During your shift you make sure everything runs appropriately. You are the connecting link between the Rooms Division Manager and all the agents. If the team cannot solve a complaint or answer a question, you jump in to help. Moreover, you help your colleagues where necessary, although you do not always stand behind the front desk. You do make sure – together with the entire team – that everything goes according to plan and that you neatly hand over the shift to the colleagues who take over at the end of your shift. In this way “the Front Office” is always kept up to date with the stay of our guests. Administrative tasks are also on your plate, which include, processing and checking of payments, making the schedule, preparing guests ammenities. This you do together with the Rooms Division Manager. No limits to your abilities. In addition, you are:
The supporter of the reception. Is it busy? Then you jump right in!
Also, the helping hand of all the receptionists, by being a mentor through your guidance and trainings.
Responsible for all administrative tasks involved in the front office.
This position has morning and afternoon shifts. The morning shift starts at 07:00 and the afternoon shift at 15:00, including a handover at the start of each shift. The night shift is outsourced and is therefore not part of your regular duties.
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 provide that experience with a team of national and international colleague and the Rooms Division Manager, in our beautiful 4-star hotel located in the city of The Hague. With a beautiful atmosphere in our team, we help each other during busy moments so everything runs smoothly. 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.
