Descripción del empleo
About Runners
Runners is a bold new all-day café & restaurant concept, opening soon in The Hague. Backed by YOUNG, we’re building a place where great food, energy, and a local community come together; morning to midnight.
We’re looking for someone to help bring this vision to life. From the final pre-opening prep to leading day-to-day operations, this is a rare opportunity to shape something from scratch — and run with it.
The Role
As Restaurant Manager & Launch Lead, you’ll be the operational heart of Runners. Your role will evolve across two key phases:
Pre-opening (part-time):
- Oversee the final build phase: furnishings, kitchen setup, tech, etc.
- Coordinate with designers, contractors, chefs, and suppliers to stay on time & budget
- Recruit, onboard, and train a small but mighty team
- Finalize the menu in collaboration with the chef and founders
- Own timelines, problem-solve, and prepare for inspection
- Organize and execute the grand opening event
Post-opening (full-time):
- Lead daily restaurant operations and inspire the team
- Ensure high service standards and a great guest experience
- Handle planning, scheduling, orders, stock, and supplier management
- Monitor key metrics (sales, feedback, costs) and optimize performance
- Introduce smart systems and improvements where needed
We are looking for someone how’s:
- Experienced in hospitality/restaurant management (2+ years leading teams)
- Organized, hands-on, and proactive — you make things happen
- A confident decision-maker with strong leadership skills
- Comfortable working independently and owning the process
- Fluent in English, Dutch is a plus
- Based in (or willing to work on-site in) The Hague
What We Offer
- Relocation support + housing provided
- A part-time contract during the setup phase (20 hrs/week), growing into a full-time role after opening
- Full ownership over the launch and day-to-day operations of a brand-new concept
- A creative, fast-moving environment where your ideas matter
- A spot in the YOUNG family — a growing group of ventures across food, media, real estate and beyond
Sound like your kind of challenge? Let’s build something amazing together.
