Frequently asked questions
What horeca jobs can I find in Denmark?
Kitchen roles (chefs, prep cooks, kitchen helpers, dishwashers), front of house (waiters, bartenders, baristas, hosts) and events and catering staff, at restaurants, hotels, cafés and canteens across Denmark.
Do I need experience?
Experienced chefs and waiters are in high demand, but there are also entry roles such as dishwashing, kitchen help and event staffing where you can start without experience and work your way up.
How do I apply?
Fill in the application form once, which takes about two minutes. We review every profile and get back to you within 24 hours.
Does it cost anything to apply?
No. Applying through HorecaJobs.dk is completely free for candidates. The venues pay us, never you.
Do I need to speak Danish to work in a Danish restaurant?
Most professional kitchens in Copenhagen and Aarhus run in English. Front of house roles in smaller towns usually want conversational Danish. We match you to a venue where your language works.
What does horeca work pay in Denmark?
Pay follows the venue's agreement and your role and experience, with supplements for evenings, weekends and public holidays. We give you the specific terms of each job before you meet the employer.
Can I work part time or only in the season?
Yes. Event, catering and seasonal hotel work is built around short contracts and weekend shifts, which is why it suits students and people combining jobs.
Is accommodation available for seasonal roles?
Sometimes, particularly at coastal and holiday venues during summer. Tell us you need it when you apply and we prioritise those employers.
