Perks of Hospo You'll Wish You Knew Sooner
We all know the obvious perks of working in hospo – flexible rosters, getting juicy tips on top of your wage, and meeting fun, like-minded co-workers. There’s also a whole world of perks that are a little more IYKYK 😉 From staff discounts that surpass your expectations to attending thrilling industry events, let's explore some of the lesser-known pluses of working in hospitality.
Discounts
Whether you’re serving up deliciousness in the local cafe or putting in that elbow grease in back-of-house, you can expect some awesome benefits. As a hospo worker, it’s fairly likely you’ll pocket a free meal while you’re on shift. However, in many hospo jobs, those discounts can stretch even further! Working for a hotel group, you could find yourself living it up in the world’s most beautiful luxury hotels while your mates slum it in the grotty hostel down the street – you may want to pay them a wellness visit! 😬
See the world
On that note, hospo is an amazing way to secure your round-trip ticket to travel the world! The best perk of being part of the beloved hospo community is you can easily find work anywhere you go. Peak travel times in Europe and beyond are always the most hectic for hospo venues and they will be more than happy to accommodate a smiling Aussie staff member. Considering traveling soon?
