Your Role as Maître-Sommelier
As the face of the restaurant, you welcome our guests with genuine attention, guide them through their evening, and effortlessly translate our story to the table. As a wine expert, you curate the wine list, offer pairing recommendations, and ensure every glass perfectly complements the dish – and the guest.
Together with the front-of-house team, which you lead and coach daily, you build a service experience that is flawless down to the smallest detail. You have a strong sense for presentation and ambiance, oversee smooth floor operations, and manage planning, purchasing, and performance.
You’ll work closely with our F&B Manager – an experienced Michelin-starred chef – and have the freedom to leave your mark on the style and experience of The Blonde.
Who You Are
You have a passion for wine and gastronomy, and you understand that hospitality is all about sincere attention. You lead with confidence, empathy, and motivation. You speak fluent Dutch and English (German is a plus), move seamlessly between guests and team, and have a sharp sense of style, timing, and atmosphere. You’re also flexible – working evenings, weekends, and holidays fits your lifestyle.
If you also have knowledge of or affinity with sustainability and Green Key standards, you’ll feel right at home with us.
What We Offer
We offer employment under the Dutch hospitality collective labor agreement (KHN-cao), with a full-time workweek of 38 hours and 25 vacation days per year.
You’ll work in an environment where attention, quality, and teamwork are central – and that applies to how we treat each other too. You’ll enjoy free parking at the door, be part of a team that lifts each other up, and take part in memorable staff events and moments beyond the workplace.
Join us at a unique venue full of character and class, where your impact will be visible. Work alongside an ambitious team led by a Michelin-starred chef, with ample space to express and grow your wine expertise. At The Blonde, craftsmanship and sustainability go hand in hand – and you’ll be given every opportunity to help shape that vision.
