Your workplace
On the outskirts of Lelystad, right next to the A6 motorway, you'll find Inditex—one of the world’s largest international fashion groups, known for brands such as Zara, Bershka, and Pull&Bear.
Inditex handles the processing of clothing delivered by truck, preparing it for shipment to various stores within and outside the Netherlands. This makes it a unique location where people from all over the world come together to work. The team is diverse and international, and this is also reflected in the restaurant.
At the Vermaat restaurant, international dishes are served to make every employee and guest feel at home. Our restaurant is open daily from 07:00 to 22:00 and welcomes between 500 and 700 guests per day.
You’ll be working in an international environment where English is the primary language, and we work in two different shifts to ensure everything runs smoothly throughout the day.
Your team
The team radiates hospitality and a strong sense of togetherness, creating a pleasant working atmosphere where fun and professionalism go hand in hand. It is a close-knit team of 10 colleagues, driven to work together and give every guest an unforgettable experience.
We also collaborate with local schools, so there is often an intern present who keeps the team sharp with a fresh, young perspective. Social return is well known within Vermaat, and Inditex is no exception.
