Working in the hospitality industry? These are the gigs you can get

The party season has started! After the restaurants, hotels and bars, the club and festival industry is, hallelujah, finally fully open again. This also means that you can get gigs in the service, bartending or in the kitchen at the best hotspots. Not only is this much fun, but hospitality shifts are also the best paid shifts on the platform. What can you do and where can you get to work? We give you an overview.

Serve and learn in service

Is hospitality your middle name and do you get energy from making guests happy? As a host or hostess in the service industry, you are the one who ensures that guests have a wonderful time and leave satisfied. During a working day as a waitress, you walk an average of 20,000 steps, so you get your share of exercise for free! Via Temper, you can pick up shifts at various clients, such as Beachclub Bronze Beach, MaMa Kelly, Lido Grill & Bar (ss Rotterdam), Rederij van Hulst, or The Hoxton.

Bartending: tap, shake and cheers

The festivals are just around the corner and the clubs are filled with party people every weekend. Are you studying during the day or do you have other commitments? Then you can do a shift as a bartender in the evening hours! Work at restaurants, festivals or clubs like DGTL, Club NYX, Eventhall Gorinchem, AFAS Live or Cruise Terminal Rotterdam.

Work on your latte art skills as a barista

Coffee lovers take note! As a barista, you are the one behind the coffee machine to conjure up the most delicious cappuccinos, lattes and espressos. A bit of latte art skills will come in handy here, but you can also acquire these skills at the location itself. You can work as a barista at the best coffee bars in your area, but also at Starbucks, Utrecht University or Astellas via Sodexo. Plus point: the average hourly rate for a barista shift is €19.70!

Catering at companies, events or schools

Providing food and drink at companies, events or schools; catering is found in many different settings. From breakfast and lunch to drinks and snacks: every shift is a new experience for you. You can work as a catering worker at the Keukenhof, Shell, SMAAK company catering or at various locations at M&M entertainment.

Chef seeks kitchen

Do you have or want to gain experience in the kitchen? Work as a chef, chef de partie or assistant chef in restaurants, cafés or in catering. Do you enjoy all the surprises cooking brings? Like the different ways and flavours to prepare something. You taste or make something new every time! Have a look in the kitchen at Grand Hotel Huis ter Duin, Hotel de L'Europe, de Kartfabrique or the Efteling, for example. As an independent working cook, you earn an average of €25.90!
