Your workplace

You will be working at Join Program for our client Booking.com. The Booking.com city campus is the new HQ in Amsterdam. From 1 May 2023 over 4,000 Booking.com employees will start working in their new building. As their catering partner, Join Program will provide all F&B services in this amazing office. We will run 3 restaurants, 3 espresso bars, a tea bar, over 40 breakout areas and a huge events department. We’ll make sure our guests enjoy amazing food & drinks each and every day.   
The location is open from Monday to Friday and offers a variety of activities. The event space area is also available at weekends on request.  

The Campus will be opening in May 2023, so we’re looking for employees who are available from April or earlier for an onboarding programme at one of our five existing locations.   You’ll kickstart your job with our three-week onboarding programme, including online e-learning about HACCP procedures and allergies. You’ll be ready to start after these first weeks! You can enjoy a good and healthy lunch every day and we organise teambuilding activities such as a festival, New Year drinks and much more, several times a year.  

Your team

We work with over 150 motivated, international colleagues from all over the world each and every day. We have very diverse teams, with people of all ages, backgrounds and nationalities. We are always looking for people who are eager to learn in an international team, are very motivated to work and are happy to help each other out to do what we do best: serving great food & drinks and delivering top level service with happy people!  Experience is less important than having a good feel for hospitality and food.   

Your job
