Austrian hospitality runs on two seasons. The **winter season** runs roughly **December to April**, and the **summer season** runs **June to September**. Both are concentrated in **Tyrol, Salzburg, and Vorarlberg**, where the alpine resorts hire the bulk of Austria's seasonal workforce. **HOGASTJOB** and the **AMS eJob-Room** list the most seasonal roles for these regions. Many seasonal contracts include **staff accommodation and meals**. That package removes the housing search, which makes a seasonal hospitality job a **common first job for newcomers** to Austria. City hotels in Vienna and Salzburg hire year-round instead, so check **Hotelcareer.at** if you want a permanent role rather than a season. ### Apply before the season starts Resorts recruit for the winter season from late summer onward. Watch HOGASTJOB and the AMS eJob-Room from September for the widest choice of winter roles, and from spring for the summer season.Illustration of mountains, a camera, and a landmark spire, for travelling and sightseeing across Austria.Peaks, sights, and landmarks: exploring Austria. ## How Much German Do You Need for Hospitality Jobs in Austria? The answer splits by role. **Guest-facing roles** like reception, service, and bar work need **conversational German**, because most guests in Austrian hotels and restaurants speak German. **Kitchens** are often international and **more relaxed** about language, so cooks and kitchen staff can often start with limited German and learn on the job. If your German is still basic, target kitchen roles on **hokify** and **Rolling Pin** first, then move into service as your language improves. Better German widens your options in every hospitality role, and it is the main lever for moving from seasonal work into **hotel management** tracks on Rolling Pin and Hotelcareer.at. ## What Do Hospitality Jobs Pay in Austria? Pay follows the **hotel and gastronomy Kollektivvertrag**, the collective agreement that sets the minimum salary for every hospitality role in Austria. **Tips come on top** of the collective wage, and like every Austrian employee you receive a **13th and 14th salary**. Check the Kollektivvertrag for your role before signing, because the ad must not pay below it. For non-EU workers there is a second lever: hospitality roles appear on the **shortage list** in several federal states. A shortage-list role can support a [Red-White-Red Card](/visa/work-visa) application, which turns a seasonal job into a route to a longer-term work permit in Austria. ## Official Sources - [AMS (Arbeitsmarktservice): Austrian Public Employment Service](https://www.ams.at) - [WKO (Wirtschaftskammer): Austrian Federal Economic Chamber](https://www.wko.at) - [Arbeiterkammer: Austrian Chamber of Labour](https://www.arbeiterkammer.at) ## Related Guides [### Jobs by Industry The best job platform per sector, from startup jobs to hospitality](/jobs/jobs-by-industry)[### Best Job Platforms The top 8 generalist job platforms in Austria ranked](/jobs/job-platforms)[### Work Visa (RWR Card) How to get a Red-White-Red Card for working in Austria](/visa/work-visa)[### Tourism in Austria The regions and resorts where Austria's tourism industry works](/tourism)> On this page Getting Started - [Top platformsStart hereRolling Pin + HOGASTJOB](#top-platforms) Working a Season - [SeasonsWinter + summer regions](#hospitality-seasons) - [German levelGuest-facing vs kitchen](#german-requirements) - [PayKollektivvertrag + tips](#hospitality-pay) Help - [Frequently asked questionsQuick answers](#faq) - [Official sourcesVerified references](#official-sources) - [Related guidesWhere to read next](#related-guides) Ask the author ## Have a question this guide did not answer?
