About us

Founded and created by a team of enthusiastic hospitality-minded youngsters with one clear purpose: the development of sustainable and innovative hospitality concepts that respond to current trends and the needs of tomorrow. While we mainly focus on creating new innovative hospitality concepts, we also consult existing hospitality companies. We’re eager to exceed guests’ expectations by providing a unique product, service or experience in a sincere atmosphere.

Our brands

Are we the future in hospitality?

As an innovative hospitality company we do things a little differently in order to improve our business, and the hospitality industry as a whole. We embrace innovation, turning traditional business models upside down and creating our own groundbreaking versions.

Rebellion is our middle name and we frequently ‘colour outside the lines’. We carry out profit sharing amongst our teams and are the first restaurateurs in the Dutch hospitality industry to implement this. Over the coming years, we will continue to build our renewed hospitality HR-model to retain and attract much-needed talent.

In 2016 we opened our award-winning brand Pesca, and in 2019 we broke a crowdfunding record with this concept. We will continue to grow in 2021 by opening up new locations.

And there is more. In 2017 we opened our second concept in Amsterdam, named de Tulp, and this is followed by the opening of three internationally oriented restaurants, a boutique hostel and a boutique hotel in 2021. Younique will focus on the growth of Pesca and the development of new strategic brands in the Netherlands, with a handful hospitality concepts lined-up already. If your dreams don’t scare you, they are not big enough. Are you with us?

Pesca

Rozengracht 133
1016 LV Amsterdam Go to website

What we do

Concept development & Operations

This is what we call a fish revolution! With Pesca we wanted to do the opposite of all the traditional fish restaurants. This is one of the reasons why Pesca leans on three important pillars: guest participation, dynamic pricing and profit-sharing. In 2016 we won the price Best Hospitality Concept and because of the potency Pesca will grow internationally with two locations in 2020. Pesca is funded by crowdfunding and in 2018 we broke a national record. Check out our crowdfunding campaign via this link!
