Doing an internship at Van der Valk Hotel Dennenhof? It is tailor-made for you if you like a combination of management and practice! You will actively participate in the team, where you can further develop or put your gastronomic skills to the test. You will join a dynamic team where hospitality is paramount. Would you like to work behind the bar, at parties, in the kitchen or rather at breakfast? Everything is possible. Finally, show off your wine knowledge by presenting a luxury menu in the rooms. Analyse sales figures to see which products sell well and which do not. Actively think along with management about promotion and marketing of the hotel. Where there’s a will, there’s a way at Dennenhof. Not forgetting the heart of almost every hospitality business: the kitchen! If you would like to take a look in the kitchen of chef Tom van de Velde, you will learn more about purchasing goods, stock management, product selection, organisation, etc. Do you like working with numbers? Assess pricing strategy with Melissa. In short, if hospitality is your passion, don’t hesitate any longer and add this learning internship to your CV!
