Requirements
What we're looking for
- You have experience as a freelance chef;
- You work both independently and collaboratively and take initiative when the situation calls for it;
- You are familiar with HACCP, occupational health and safety, and safety guidelines;
- You continue to work efficiently even during peak moments without compromising on quality;
- You know how to surprise guests with flavorful and varied dishes;
- You can provide a Certificate of Conduct (VOG) upon request.
The role
You will come to work in the corporate catering of the Municipality of Amsterdam at the Amstel location. This government organization is dedicated daily to the city and its residents. The guests are primarily municipality employees who stop by during their workday for a good lunch, a cup of coffee, or a moment to catch up. The location is situated near Amsterdam Amstel Station, about a five-minute walk away, and is easily accessible by public transport. The location is also easily accessible by car. The atmosphere is dynamic, informal, and cozy.
Vermaat provides the catering here for the municipality employees. Although the exact concept may vary, hospitality is always central, and you ensure a pleasant place where colleagues enjoy gathering. No two days are the same: from lunch periods and coffee peaks to meetings and events. You work in a committed team that puts their shoulders to the wheel together and helps each other where necessary. It is precisely the combination of a professional working environment, regular guests, and close cooperation that makes this workplace special.
What you'll do
As an independent chef at GEM A'dam Amstel, Amsterdam, you demonstrate your craftsmanship in the kitchen every day. You work within a food concept where you are given space to add your creativity and own style to the offering. With an eye for quality, taste, and presentation, you ensure that guests can enjoy surprising dishes. Additionally, you keep kitchen processes in order and contribute to an efficient and safe working environment.
As an independent chef:
- You prepare daily dishes according to the food concept and your own craftsmanship;
- You monitor the quality, presentation, and taste of all dishes;
- You work independently and take responsibility within the kitchen where necessary;
- You ensure that HACCP, occupational health and safety, and safety guidelines are followed;
- You handle orders where necessary, maintain allergen registrations, and assist with kitchen administration;
- You contribute ideas for new recipes and know how to surprise guests time and again.
How you'll work
You are available Monday through Friday and work between 7:00 AM and 3:00 PM. We will coordinate the exact contents of your schedule based on the needs of the location and your availability.
What we ask
We are looking for an experienced independent chef with a passion for the profession. You work accurately, keep a cool head during busy moments, and have an eye for quality. With your experience and creativity, you contribute every day to an excellent culinary experience:
