Hospitality jobs in Switzerland
Kitchen, service and hotel jobs across Switzerland. Free to post.
Swiss hospitality runs on two calendars. In Zurich, Basel, Bern or Geneva, restaurants and city hotels hire all year: a young cook straight out of the apprenticeship, a chef de partie for a brasserie, hourly service staff for weekends, a night auditor at reception. In the mountains the year splits into a winter season, roughly December to Easter, and a summer season from June into October, and the resorts in Graubünden, Valais and the Bernese Oberland put whole teams together for a few months at a time. Gastro Hotel Jobs lists both kinds of job in one place.
Kitchen, service, front desk, housekeeping
The board covers the whole trade, not only the chef jobs: cooks from commis to sous-chef, kitchen helpers and dishwashers, service and bar staff, receptionists, housekeeping and laundry teams, and the people who run a banquet or a breakfast room. Search for a job title in German, French or Italian as well as English, because a posting keeps the words its employer chose: Koch, cuisinier and cuoco each bring up different ads. The workload filter separates a 100% position from a 40% weekend job, and the freshness filter keeps the list to what was posted this week.
Season jobs and staff housing
A season job often comes with a room in a staff house or a shared flat, sometimes with meals, and the cost is usually deducted from the wage. Whether that is on offer, and what it costs, is up to each employer, so read the posting before counting on it. The quickest way to the mountain jobs is the keyword Saison with a resort such as Davos or Grindelwald in the Where field.
Most restaurants and hotels in Switzerland fall under the L-GAV, the national collective labour agreement for the trade. It sets minimum wages by training level and includes a 13th monthly salary. Split shifts are common: the unpaid break between lunch and dinner service is called the Zimmerstunde, and a posting that mentions it is telling you how the working day is built.
Reading is free and needs no account, and so is posting: a hotel or restaurant enters the role, confirms a link sent by email, and the posting goes live after a quick automatic check. A private link sent by email then lets it withdraw the posting once the job is filled. Applications go to the employer's own page or address, never through this site. More listings come in every day from public Swiss job sources and from company career pages. The site is available in German, English, French and Italian; a posting shows in its original language, and in yours once the translation is ready. A job alert mails you new matches for a saved search, which helps when hiring for the winter starts in autumn.
