Strandwerk

Am Badesee 4, Düren, Netherlands

Strandwerk is not a beach bar. It's the thing that keeps beach bars running when the kitchen is about to fall apart. They match your strandzaak with freelance koks from a pool of 100+ people who actually know how to work in beach hospitality, not just any cook who happens to be free. The whole setup is pretty straightforward. You tell them which days you need someone, what function, what budget. They find a kok from their pool. The kok shows up on the day. That's it. No endless email chains, no hidden fees. Just a fixed €5 per hour brokerage fee on top of whatever rate you set yourself. They also handle the boring but important stuff: contracts, SNA compliance, the whole Wet DBA situation that's making everyone nervous about hiring zzp'ers. You get a weekly invoice, you track hours in their app, and if you find a kok you really like, you can save them as a favorite so they get priority for your shifts. Worth a look if you run a strandzaak and you're tired of scrambling every time someo…
