The right person. The right kitchen.

Hospitality Staffing Across Europe

StaffLab Group is a hospitality staffing and EU posting agency placing experienced chefs, sous-chefs, cooks, waiters and kitchen porters at restaurants, hotels and catering companies across Europe. Our pool of 380+ professionals covers Scandinavia, Benelux and Poland. We handle full-cycle recruitment: candidate sourcing, skills verification, language screening, visa support and onboarding coordination.

We operate under EU Directive 96/71/EC (posted workers). Every placement includes an A1 certificate, full payroll management, and EU invoicing with 0% VAT (reverse charge). Contracts start from 3 months. Placement typically takes 1–3 weeks from first contact. Our compliance team manages all mandatory notifications to host-country labour authorities on your behalf.

Our staffing services are available in the Netherlands (Amsterdam, Rotterdam, Den Haag, Utrecht), Belgium (Brussels, Antwerp, Ghent, Bruges, Liège), and Luxembourg. We supply culinary and front-of-house staff to restaurants, hotels and catering operations across Dutch, French and German-speaking markets. Roles we fill include head chef, sous chef, chef de partie, commis chef, pastry chef, line cook, waiter, bartender and kitchen porter. StaffLab also provides industrial welding and construction staffing through stafflab.pl, serving clients in Poland, Germany and Western Europe.

StaffLab also operates in Sweden under the brand stafflab.se, supplying culinary staff to Swedish restaurants and catering groups. Our Nordic division focuses on long-term secondments and seasonal reinforcements for high-volume kitchens in Stockholm, Gothenburg and Malmö.
