About this role
Nestled within De L’Europe Amsterdam, Flore is one of the Netherlands’ most celebrated fine dining destinations, the proud holder of two Michelin stars and 18 points Gault&Millau. At Flore, every dish tells a story: one of exceptional ingredients, deep craftsmanship, and a profound respect for nature and the seasons. Our cuisine is rooted in sustainability without compromise, where flavour and conscience go hand in hand. We don’t just set the table; we create an experience that stays with our guests long after the last course. As we continue to push the boundaries of fine dining in Amsterdam, we are looking for an Interim Restaurant Manager who shares our passion, upholds our standards, and lead our team to deliver something truly extraordinary, every single service. What you’ll do As Interim Restaurant Manager of Flore, you will take over from the Restaurant Manager during maternity leave and be a key figure in delivering the two-Michelin-star experience our guests expect. You lead the service team with precision, warmth, and an unwavering eye for detail, ensuring every guest interaction reflects the standard of excellence Flore stands for. The service team consists of 8 full-time employees and two trainees. You lead and inspire the front-of-house team during every service, setting the tone through your presence and professionalism. As the main point of contact for Flore, both internally and externally, you are the trusted go-to person for colleagues, guests, and partners alike. Internally, you work closely with all departments within De L’Europe to ensure smooth communication and collaboration, and you report directly to the F&B Manager. Externally, you manage guest enquiries regarding private dining, festive celebrations, and special occasions, guiding guests from their initial enquiry through to a seamless Flore experience. You spot commercial opportunities and drive continuous improvement, while onboarding, training, and coaching staff to the Michelin-level standards Flore demands. You ensure seamless communication between the kitchen and the floor, so every course lands exactly as intended. At every turn, you look for ways to exceed guest expectations and turn a great dinner into an unforgettable memory. You safeguard our sustainability values by embedding sustainability into daily operations, and you foster a working environment where professionalism, openness, and team spirit go hand in hand.
