Café de Brasserie

What Café de Brasserie does

Café de Brasserie is a privately-owned café and brasserie restaurant operating a single location at Hoofdstraat 53 in Emmen, Netherlands. Founded approximately in 1985, the company has run continuously for over 41 years and operates 364 days per year, closing only on January 1. The venue serves the local Emmen community and visitors with a full-day food and beverage offering covering coffee, lunch, dinner, and drinks, supported by indoor, outdoor, and greenhouse (serre) seating to ensure year-round availability regardless of weather.

The core product is the main café and brasserie, with an all-day menu spanning sandwiches, soups, salads, fish, meat, vegetarian dishes, bar snacks, desserts, and a rotating specialty beer selection (Wisseltap) complemented by standard tap beers. Two sub-brands extend the offering: Tempelier, an upper-floor beer café and event venue that hosts private parties, tastings, pub quizzes, and Big Green Egg ceramic barbecue experiences for groups up to 80 persons; and the Monday Night Music Club, a recurring live-music event held on the last Monday of each month with free entry. Tempelier's event packages are tiered from €34.50 to €59.50 per person with minimum group sizes of 20–25, with optional pub quiz (€10/person) and free photobooth add-ons.

The business model is transactional B2C with no delivery or takeaway indicated. Revenue is generated through two streams: daily food and beverage sales from walk-in dine-in customers, and event hosting fees from private parties, corporate gatherings, and tasting experiences at Tempelier. Pricing is published for event arrangements but not for the regular menu. Marketing is executed through Facebook, Instagram, and the company website, with word-of-mouth within the Emmen community identified as a key demand driver. Distribution is exclusively through a single physical storefront; no franchise, licensing, or multi-location operations are present. The company employs 11–50 staff and has no disclosed funding, parent company, or external investors.
