BenKom Group

What BenKom Group does

BenKom Group BV is a privately held Dutch hospitality company headquartered in Hoofddorp, Netherlands, operating a diversified portfolio of restaurants, boutique hotels, and event venues across Hoofddorp and Amsterdam. Founded in 2023 by Mo Benaicha and Kristian Komduur (whose surnames compose the group name), with Rob Leemker serving as Operational Director and co-owner, the group currently runs more than six concepts including 11 Bar & Kitchen, Westervilla (Amsterdam), Hotel Twenty-Three, Het Oude Raadhuis (an 1867 national monument), Mooca, Zoet & Zalig, and Nando Italian Bistro, with La Rondà Bar & Bites announced as in development.

The business model spans transaction-based revenue from à la carte and tasting-menu restaurants, per-night boutique hotel accommodation (7 rooms at each of Hotel Twenty-Three and Westervilla), event venue hire with capacities ranging from 10 seated to 500 standing, and tiered catering services priced per person (€19.50-€59.50) and per person-hour (€22.50-€31). Underlying operational technology consists of a hospitality operations platform with web-based enquiry and booking forms and signature equipment such as Mibrasa charcoal grills; no proprietary software or AI capabilities are disclosed.

The group serves three overlapping customer segments: individual consumers (walk-in diners, hotel guests), corporate/business clients (meetings, private dining), and private event organisers (weddings, large celebrations), with the latter supported by a partnership with Weddings & Events by Daniella. The venue portfolio is concentrated in the Haarlemmermeer and Amsterdam regions, leveraging proximity to Schiphol Airport and the Amsterdam catchment.
