ESMO
The Schildergasse is one of the busiest shopping streets in Europe, and together with Hohe Straße and the Rhein-Center it produces staffing peaks that no fixed rota absorbs comfortably, least of all in carnival season.
We supply sales support, checkout staff and replenishment teams from more than 3,900 registered students in Cologne. All of them live in the city, so no travel or accommodation is billed, and you normally have a staffed team within days of the quote.
Where you will find our staff in Cologne: Schildergasse and Hohe Straße stores, Rhein-Center units, and the Old Town shops that fill up when Koelnmesse runs gamescom or Anuga and the breweries are working at capacity.
What is on record: named staff, agreed shift times and pay never below the 2026 German statutory minimum wage of €13.90 per hour. Requests for carnival week are best placed early, and staff are briefed on your product ranges and till system beforehand.
REWE Group
Carnival in February or March, gamescom in August, Anuga in October and the Christmas trading weeks on the Schildergasse.
Across all industries - from trade fairs to logistics, from airports to hospitality. One partner, nationwide availability.
