Nijland Hospitality & Coaching

Peace and direction in the hospitality industry

With over 35 years of experience, I help hospitality entrepreneurs, teams, and organizations restore clarity, structure, and job satisfaction.

Always with attention to the person — and with the guest as our starting point.

Diensten

Services

Hospitality consultancy

For catering companies that want to start up, restore or improve.
I support new business start-ups, reorganizations, quality improvements, and recovery after turbulent periods. Always with an eye for the practical side, the team, and the client.
Result: more overview, better cooperation and peace in the organization.

Coaching & guidance

For me, coaching means: looking together at where things are stuck and making them workable again.
I coach starting and experienced hospitality entrepreneurs, chefs, managers and employees who are under pressure or want to grow.

Always honest, personal and without judgement.

Reorganization & recovery

Sometimes starting up again is easier than recovering. Reorganizations often involve habits, resistance, and uncertainty.
I help reorganize teams and work processes, improve collaboration, and restore trust.

Temporary support

In case of illness, absence or staff shortage, I can temporarily assist in the kitchen or organization.
Sometimes just being present at work is enough to bring back peace and movement.

Over

As far as I'm concerned...

I am Raymond Nijland

Chef, entrepreneur and coach — with over 35 years of experience in the hospitality industry.

I have worked in renowned restaurants and small cafes, in the Netherlands and abroad.

I've started, reorganized, sold, and started over companies.

I have seen teams grow, but also get stuck under pressure.

What has remained the same over all these years: the guest always comes first.

And that's what everything revolves around — entrepreneur, team and organization.

My way of working is calm and practical.

I listen, observe on the work floor and help to create structure where the overview has disappeared.

No thick reports, no management jargon, but solutions that work in practice.

For me, coaching is helping people where they are stuck.

Whether it is a starting entrepreneur, a chef, an employee or an organization that is looking for direction again.

Hospitality is a wonderful profession, but also a demanding one. That's precisely why I believe in calm, honesty, and connection. Because when people feel good about themselves, everything else will follow.
