Independently working cook Infinity

Your workplace

Infinity, formerly known as ING House, is an iconic and sustainable office building located in Amsterdam’s Zuidas district. Designed by Meyer and Van Schooten, its unique shape—often compared to a shoe or a flat iron—rests on 16 angled steel legs. Today, it serves as a modern multi-tenant office space.

Within this building, Vermaat Group operates corporate restaurants for leading organizations such as IMC (a trading firm), Simon-Kucher (a marketing consultancy), and Lexence (a law and notary firm). On the 3rd, 6th, and 8th floors, we offer a wide selection of fresh, healthy, and sustainable meals. The 3rd floor also features a stylish espresso bar where guests can enjoy an exceptional cup of coffee. Each day, over 450 employees and visitors make use of our hospitality services.

We work exclusively with premium suppliers such as Lindenhoff, Vanille Ventura, and Food to Impress, allowing us to cook with the freshest, most honest, and flavorful ingredients. Our kitchen is fully artisanal—from sauces to pastries, everything is lovingly made in-house with care and passion.

Your team

At Infinity, we work with a relatively large team. Each person has their own area of expertise, which allows us to maintain a high level of service. You’ll be joining a friendly and fairly junior team. The collaboration is great, even though we work on different floors of the building. If you ever have a question, there’s always a colleague ready to help you!

Your job

As a independently working cook at Infinity, Amsterdam, you literally and figuratively showcase your recipe. At Vermaat, we work with food concepts, which means you work within the frameworks set, but also have the freedom to show your recipes. Every day, you challenge yourself to offer guests variety with creativity, attention to detail, and knowledge of different cuisines. You are constantly vigilant about the quality of the dishes leaving the kitchen. You are also responsible for the administrative part of the kitchen. This includes ensuring HACCP compliance, timely ordering, and accurately mapping allergens.

Your ingredients

  • The kitchen is your domain. Over the past few years, you have developed into an independent working chef;
  • You can work independently and take the lead when necessary;
  • Regulations in the areas of HACCP, occupational health and safety hold no secrets for you;
