Exciting Opportunity: Become Our Restaurant Manager at The 51! 🍕🍺

Are you an authentic leader with a passion for hospitality? We’re on the lookout for a Restaurant Manager who can take charge, inspire a team, and bring our new dining concept to life at The 51.

Th 51 is located just a 5-minute walk from Sloterdijk Station, our restaurant is a buzzing destination for after-work drinks and dinners. Whether it’s enjoying antipasti with a self-poured pint in our lounge or taking a seat in our restaurant for your favorite pizza bursting with flavor, we offer something for everyone. Oh, and queues at the bar? Not here. Our self-pour beer tap wall lets guests skip the wait and pour their own pint. Grab a drink, relax on our lounge sofas, or pull up a bar chair with friends. Cheers to that! 

Our guests aren’t just locals and commuters—many come from our adjacent apartment hotel, staying with us  from a few days to several months. This creates a unique opportunity to build meaningful connections and deliver personalized service.  Adding to the energy, our restaurant also serves as the home base for The July headquarters, making it a popular hangout for colleagues and an ideal venue for in-house events.
