Restaurant Manager Jansz. - #52896

At Jansz., service is about far more than running a smooth shift. It is about creating a guest experience that feels warm, personal, and effortlessly polished.

Set within the beautiful surroundings of Pulitzer Amsterdam, Jansz. is our elegant yet approachable restaurant where elevated casual dining meets the charm of a true Amsterdam canal house. With around 85 covers, a semi private dining area, and intimate private dining spaces, no two days are ever the same.

As Restaurant Manager, you are the driving force behind the daily operation of Jansz. You lead the team on the floor, support service where it matters most, and keep a close eye on both the guest experience and the business performance.

You work closely with the kitchen and bar teams, manage reservations and staffing, handle guest feedback with confidence, and make sure every shift runs smoothly. At the same time, you coach your team, maintain high standards, and help create an atmosphere where both guests and colleagues feel genuinely looked after.
