Part of: HOP — Hospitality Development Platform
What the invoices from HOP mean, how we reopened talks with KHN and what you can do as an operator.
Coffeeshops receiving HOP invoices
Coffeeshop operators are receiving invoices from the Hospitality Development Platform (HOP). This raises questions: what is the invoice based on, what do you get in return and is there any obligation to pay? We have bundled these signals from our members and raised them.
Talks with KHN reopened
As BCD we have reopened talks with Royal Dutch Hospitality (KHN). Our aim is recognition of coffeeshops as regular hospitality operations: the same position, the same access to business support and the same clarity about costs and services as other hospitality entrepreneurs.
What you can do now
- Check which cao basis and wage total the invoice is built on.
- Keep the correspondence and do not pay automatically if the basis is unclear.
- Ask in writing for a specification of period, wage base and services.
- Report unclear or unexpected invoices to us so we can raise the pattern.
A detailed explanation is available in our article Received a HOP invoice — what hospitality operators need to know.
