Chef de Partie

De Plesman opened its doors in March 2025 and has already earned a Michelin Key (which we’re secretly very proud of). We're a boutique hotel located in the former KLM headquarters in The Hague, honouring aviation pioneer Albert Plesman. The building’s history is reflected in every detail, from its architecture to its hospitality. Guests can enjoy an amazing dinner at Restaurant Suus, named after Plesman’s wife, or unwind at Albert Bar, named after Albert Plesman himself. A dynamic spot between the dunes and the city where The Hague’s heritage comes to life.  

So.. what is different you ask? We are bold. We are looking for someone who wants to evolve hospitality together with us. We believe our team members are at the heart of our hotel and make it such a special place. We can’t do this alone though, and hence we are looking for you to make sure all of our guests leave with a bright smile. 
 

Do you recognize yourself?  

• You don’t consider yourself precious cargo: we leave our pride at the door and are the first ones to raise their hand in order to help each other to get things done. We are a team, every day of the week.  

  
  

• You are a hundred per cent yourself. You’re fun and kind. You take your job seriously, but yourself not too much. You believe sharing a few laughs goes a long way.  

  
  

• You are not afraid to make bold choices in order to ensure guests have truly amazing experiences. Making the right decision on the spot comes naturally to you.  

  
  

• You want to be part of a team that works hard, supports each other and has fun along the way.  

  
  

 What will you be doing?   

• Preparing dishes for the restaurant and meetings & events; 

  
  

• Performing preparatory tasks for all dishes; 

  
  

• Contributing to the innovation of dishes and menus with proactive ideas; 

  
  

• Assessing the quality and shelf life of ingredients and ensuring the quality of outgoing dishes; 

  
  

• Receiving, inspecting, and storing ordered food supplies; 

  
  

• Keeping the work area clean; 

  
  

Small print:

• You have 1 – 3 years of experience in a similar role. You’ll be on top of our list if you gained this experience at a 4/5-star hotel.

  
  

• Flexibility to work morning and evening shifts, including weekends and holidays;

  
  

• You speak English fluently

  
  

• You preferably live in the vicinity of The Hague

  
  

What’s in it for you?

• One year contract with the intention to extend if we are both happy with our collaboration.

  
  

• Regular team activities; from biking around Den Haag to Thursday team drinks. And maybe you will also have great ideas for our next team outing?

  
  

• Development opportunities

  
  

• Discounts on hotels stays and F&B

  
  

• You are part of a young & dynamic team; and a key player in shaping De Plesman as you are part of our pre-opening team.
