STORYTELLING
Every great company once started in a garage…
… and Mise en Place is no exception. We have developed from a tiny group in Maastricht (The Netherlands) in 1994, into a fully grown organisation making its mark on the hospitality industry. Yet despite great changes, we have always stuck by the samen ethos since the start, encouraged a friendly work environment and created “synergy”. It is because of this that we have managed to establish an elaborate international network of partners and talents, all of whom have a passion for what they do.
This organisation was only able to develop and expand because of the talents of its staff members. Our goal is to attract, support and invest in students who continuously strive to exceed expectations. If you have what it takes, you’ll see yourself rising through our ranks in no time. We offer our staff the opportunity to grow and discover their hidden potential. We pride ourselves in continuously bringing out the best in everyone we have the opportunity to meet. All of this is made possible by the endless energy and positivity of our Mise en Place employees.
“TOGETHER WE PROUDLY PUT ENERGY IN MAKING FRIENDS AND CREATING SYNERGY”
-since 1994-
1994
WHERE IT ALL BEGAN:
Our company began in a tiny student room on the campus of the hotel school in Maastricht. In that small space we laid the foundations for what has now become an international organisation, with all its labels and multiple networks. From the university, to a garage, to a little office on the ‘Spoorweglaan’ in Maastricht, we have pushed for high quality, well trained staff and, of course, fun.
OUR FUNNEL
From the beginning, we have worked to reverse the structural hierarchy of traditional companies. Our jobpers are the most important to us, and we put them first.

Here our young students get the chance to meet the older generations of Mise en Place who now work as doctors, lawyers, marketers etc…
