An opportunity to work in Amsterdam’s famous Art Deco restaurant, which also houses the very first Hard Rock Hotel in the Netherlands. Do you offer VIP treatment to every guest you serve, and are you equally passionate about food and drink as you are about your latest Spotify playlist? Then Café Americain wants you!

POSITION SUMMARY

As a bartender, the bar in the heart of Café Americain is your domain. This is where you will prepare all your drinks, from cappuccino to gin and tonic, with the same loving care - and impeccable quality. You are abreast of the latest trends and ingredients in drinks and beverages. Guests can always consult you about special beers, local spirits or special cocktails - and you will serve each of them with a special individual nuance. A good bartender is cheerful and full of energy, and is always able to come up with an entertaining anecdote or two about the café and hotel. And of course you know how to keep your work area spotlessly clean all day long. So you will make the bar the reason why people visit the Café Americain.
