At Pulitzer Amsterdam we are true storytellers and you only have to step inside to know why! It is the home of 223 unique guest rooms, the timeless Pulitzer’s Bar, café Pulitzer Garden and the modern-Dutch restaurant Jansz., all with stories we can’t help but share.
The beating heart of Pulitzer Amsterdam is its team: motivated, passionate and genuine people with service in their veins. We are social and charming by nature, creating everlasting memories for our guests.
At Jansz., service is about far more than taking orders and serving dishes. It is about reading the room, anticipating needs, and 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 three event spaces for intimate private dinners of up to 20 guests, no service is ever quite the same.
We are looking for a Waiter / Waitress who understands luxury standards in service, but brings them in a way that feels natural, genuine, and full of personality.
A day in the life
As a Waiter / Waitress at Jansz., you play a key role in shaping each guest’s experience from the moment they are handed over by our hosts to the moment they leave the restaurant.
You will work 9 hour shifts, either:
- Breakfast and lunch
- Lunch and dinner
During high season, our hotel often reaches 85%+ occupancy, which makes breakfast a lively and fast paced environment. This is where guest experience, efficiency, and pace need to work hand in hand.
Lunch and dinner have a different rhythm. Here, the focus shifts more toward storytelling, detail, and creating a unique experience for every guest. This is where your personal touch, timing, and intuition truly make the difference.
What we are looking for
We are looking for someone who can combine speed with elegance and high standards with warmth.
You are someone who:
- Has an eye for detail and a strong sense of quality
- Can read the room in seconds and adjust your approach naturally
- Brings emotional intelligence and genuine care to every guest interaction
- Knows how to stay calm and focused in a buzzing service
- Understands that authenticity adds real value to luxury hospitality
- Loves creating memorable moments through personal, attentive service
At Jansz., there is room for personality. We believe the best service is not robotic. It is thoughtful, polished, and sincere.
Why Jansz.
Jansz. is a beautiful restaurant that feels like the living room of a refined canal house. Full of Dutch charm, elegant details, and dishes that invite guests to settle in and stay a little longer.
It is a place where service should feel intuitive and memorable. Where guests are welcomed by our hosts, and then placed in your care for the rest of their experience.
If you love hospitality that is detail driven, personal, and full of character, this is the place to do your best work.
Besides that, the investment of your time into our property will be returned in many ways. We truly care about your personal development, wellbeing and professional growth. We strategically build our teams to make sure every player is foreseen with mentorship, guidance and most of all social chemistry. Overall, a place to learn and teach at the same time, where every personal need is attended to, and colleagues are people you truly want to spend your shift with.
