Vacancy
As a LuminAir Employee at DoubleTree by Hilton Amsterdam Centraal Station you are responsible for providing the best possible service to the guests of LuminAir. You work in the different parts of the LuminAir team: as a Food Runner, Drink Runner, behind the bar or in the Service.
As a Food Runner you support the kitchen, help with preparatory work and serve the food to the guests. As a Drink Runner you do this for the ordered drinks. When you are assigned behind the bar, you prepare the ordered drinks such as different types of coffee and cocktails. In the Service you are responsible for taking orders and advising guests about the food and drinks on the menu. The roles can change per shift, so no day is the same! You work together as a team and at the end of your shift you ensure that everything is ready for the next shift. Many events are organized in LuminAir Amsterdam, to which you can also contribute during your shifts.
You work alternately in the morning or the evening shift. The morning service starts at 10 AM and ends at 6 PM and the evening shift lasts from 5 PM to no later than 3 AM. You are part of the LuminAir team, which consists of LuminAir Employees, Floor Supervisors and Bar Supervisors. The team is managed by the LuminAir Manager and the Assistant Managers.
If you enjoy a lot of interaction with guests, providing great service, and you find a challenge in (at times) working many orders at the same time, then this is the job for you.
Working week
On a nice working day it the weather is nice and the terrace of LuminAir is full. The atmosphere in the team is good and the guests are satisfied.
On a day that not everything runs smoothly, some guests are not as satisfied as I would like, because the waiting time in the lobby is long due to large crowds.
