Independently working cook Consultancy firm

Your workplace

Welcome to a leading consulting firm in the heart of Amsterdam! You’ll be working at a stunning new location where Vermaat has introduced an innovative food concept. It’s all about quality, experience, and sustainability: from healthy, seasonal dishes to a barista bar and banqueting for meetings and events. You’ll truly be part of the team—joining social events, TGIF drinks, and themed days. The atmosphere is dynamic and international, with plenty of room for your ideas.

This concept is modern and future-proof: 80% plant-based, daily rotating menus, storytelling, and even a dedicated Food App. You’ll join a medium-sized, close-knit team with a real can-do mentality. Because this is a new concept, you’ll have lots of input on improving processes and surprising guests. Got ideas to work smarter or elevate the experience? We’re all ears—together, we’ll make this location shine.

Your job

As a Independently working cook at this location, you quite literally and figuratively showcase your recipe. At Vermaat, we work with food concepts, which means you operate within established frameworks, but also have the freedom to bring your own recipes to life. Every day, you challenge yourself to offer guests variety through creativity, attention to detail, and knowledge of different cuisines. You maintain a constant focus on the quality of the dishes leaving the kitchen.

You’re also responsible for the administrative side of the kitchen. This includes ensuring HACCP guidelines are followed, orders are placed on time, and allergens are properly documented.

Your ingredients

  • The kitchen is your domain. Over the past few years, you have developed into an independently working chef;
  • You can work independently and take the lead when needed;
  • Regulations regarding HACCP, occupational health, and safety hold no secrets for you;
  • You know how to get things done – meaning you keep up the pace during busy times while maintaining high quality;
  • With your creativity, you manage to surprise guests time and again;
  • You are able to provide a Certificate of Conduct (VOG) upon request.
