Job Description

Build Three Flagship Brands Under One Roof | YOUNG.Learning Hotel — Rijswijk, Netherlands Not just another hospitality job. An opportunity to build and lead an entire hospitality business. YOUNG.Hospitality is looking for an entrepreneurial hospitality professional to develop, lead and commercially grow the complete food and beverage operation on the ground floor of our YOUNG.Learning Hotel in Rijswijk, near The Hague. We have brought the building under our control and are now actively developing the property and its hospitality operations into the next chapter of YOUNG.Hospitality. This creates a unique opportunity: within one hotel building, we are developing three flagship locations for our hospitality brands, together with the hotel's daily breakfast operation. We are not looking for someone simply to manage an existing restaurant. We are looking for someone who wants to build something from the ground up, take genuine ownership and be accountable for the results. Three Brands. One Building. One Entrepreneur. RUNNERS — Family Restaurant Our accessible, affordable family restaurant, built around delicious food, a welcoming atmosphere, fast service and a particularly strong experience for families and children. Bitterkoud — Gelato & Desserts A distinctive concept focused on quality gelato, desserts, waffles and takeaway, designed to become a recognizable and scalable hospitality brand. YOUNG.Coffee — Coffee & Takeaway Our modern coffee concept, combining great coffee, efficient operations, digital ordering and a strong takeaway proposition. YOUNG.Learning Hotel — Breakfast You will also be responsible for providing breakfast to hotel guests every day, integrating all four activities into one efficient operation wherever practical, supported by shared teams, purchasing and systems. Each brand location will serve as a flagship: a real-life example of how the concept should look, feel, operate and perform financially. These flagships will also provide the operating standards and proof of concept for future partners, licensees and franchise locations. Your Opportunity You will have the opportunity to develop the entire ground-floor hospitality operation into a professional, welcoming and commercially successful business. Your responsibilities will include: Leading the daily operations of RUNNERS, Bitterkoud, YOUNG.Coffee and the hotel's breakfast service. Recruiting, developing and managing one strong, flexible hospitality team. Building efficient staffing schedules and operational synergies between the concepts. Taking responsibility for revenue, margins, costs, guest satisfaction and operating profitability. Delivering outstanding and consistent guest experiences across all three brands. Implementing each brand's concept standards and operational procedures. Using central purchasing, digital ordering, automation and AI tools to keep operations efficient. Developing three flagship operations that can become models for future expansion. Working directly with YOUNG.Hospitality and YOUNG.Learning Hotel management. You will have genuine operating responsibility, with the freedom to improve execution while protecting the identity, quality and commercial framework of each brand. Who Are We Looking For? Above all, we are looking for an entrepreneurial operator who takes ownership and gets things done. You may already own or have built a successful hospitality business. You may be a General Manager, Food & Beverage Director, multi-site operator or an experienced entrepreneur ready for your next opportunity. You understand hospitality and the numbers behind it: food costs, labour costs, occupancy, guest satisfaction, revenue and operating profit. You enjoy being present on the floor, leading people and solving problems. You move quickly, think commercially and do not wait for detailed instructions. You are comfortable building new operations, working within a lean organization and using technology and AI to make hospitality more efficient without losing the human experience. We believe in strong people, clear accountability and intelligent systems — not unnecessary management layers. What We Offer A unique opportunity to build a multi-brand hospitality business within an existing hotel property. Three flagship concepts plus the daily hotel breakfast operation. A meaningful role in the expansion of YOUNG.Hospitality. Significant responsibility, autonomy and influence over operational performance. Support from the wider YOUNG ecosystem, including branding, purchasing, technology, AI and organizational expertise. Potential to grow alongside our hospitality brands as they expand. A commercial arrangement designed around the right person's experience, ambitions and responsibilities. We are open to two collaboration models: an entrepreneurial management position with performance-based incentives, or an independent operating partnership with an experienced hospitality entrepreneur. The final structure and terms will be determined together based on experience, responsibilities and the agreed business plan. Ready to Build Something Meaningful? This is not a role for someone simply looking for their next job title. It is an opportunity for someone who wants to build a business, take ownership, achieve measurable results and create three flagship hospitality locations that will help shape the future of YOUNG.Hospitality. Send us your CV or entrepreneurial profile, and most importantly, tell us what you have built before, the results you achieved and how you would approach this opportunity.
