Part of: HOP — Hospitality Development Platform
What we pursue as BCD: equal access to the fund and clarity about the basis and what is delivered in return.
What we are pursuing
If coffeeshops contribute to the hospitality sector's development fund, they should also be able to make full use of what that fund delivers. Our position toward KHN and HOP is concrete:
- Recognition — treat coffeeshops as regular hospitality operations, including within the cao.
- Transparency — a clear basis, specification and stated return for every invoice.
- Equal access — training, RI&E, campaigns and subsidy schemes explicitly open to coffeeshops and their staff.
- Fit with practice — training and prevention material that reflects reality behind the coffeeshop counter.
What we do ourselves
We organise professionalisation along our own track: the Coffeeshop Quality Mark and our dossiers on banking and licensing. That is separate from HOP, but serves the same goal: a sector that is auditable and mature.
