NETHERLANDS. Amsterdam Airport Schiphol is offering one of the most important opportunities in airport food & beverage for tender – a “˜branded burger’ concept at Schiphol Plaza in Amsterdam.
Currently Burger King operates the location. “This outlet is one of the best performing Burger Kings in the world,” a Schiphol spokesperson told The Moodie Report.
Schiphol Group said it is seeking an “internationally and locally known branded burger concept” for the landside location. The current operation at Schiphol Plaza expires on 30 April 2008.
The Schiphol Plaza outlet is sited in a desirable central location. The size of the kitchen and counter is 285sq m. Two seating areas (69.6sq m and 186.5sq m) are part of the concept.
The stated objectives of the tender are commendable given the ongoing “˜Trinity’ debate about serving the travelling consumer better as well as ensuring a decent return to the airport |
All agreements (both concession and rental) will have an initial term of five years. The successful concessionaire will pay a monthly fixed (or minimum) rent on or before the first day of every month.
Proposers should offer a concession fee (percentage) of gross sales. It is permitted to offer a “˜step’ percentage wherein the concession fee increases after certain designated sales levels are reached.
In order to be selected proposers must have at least five years of continuous experience in operating a branded burger concept. The outlet has to be open 24 hours a day, 365 days per year, including all public holidays.
Well-expressed tender
The stated objectives of the tender are commendable given the ongoing “˜Trinity’ debate about serving the travelling consumer better as well as ensuring a decent return to the airport.
