Two things shape hospitality staffing in Cologne: arena nights and Carnival. The LANXESS Arena fills and empties within hours, so bar and service teams work in tight bursts, while the Carnival weeks in February or March pull staff out of the market across the whole city.
With over 3,900 registered students in Cologne we plan both patterns in advance. Teams are briefed before the shift, paid at least the 2026 statutory minimum wage of 13.90 euros per hour, and booked locally, which keeps travel and accommodation off your invoice.
Where our staff work in Cologne: bar and hospitality-suite service at the LANXESS Arena, exhibitor and congress catering in the Koelnmesse halls in Deutz, and service shifts in Old Town brewery houses and hotel banquet rooms.
What Anuga and gamescom change: a food trade fair needs sampling and buffet support, a consumer show needs fast counter service and dishwashing throughput. We supply service staff, baristas, bar staff, banquet and buffet teams and kitchen assistants.

Peak demand falls on Carnival in February or March, gamescom in August, Anuga in October and the arena concert season in winter.
