Hospitality in Nordics

The Nordic region pioneered New Nordic cuisine and has high design standards. Hospitality costs are high due to wages and taxes. Coffee culture is strong.

Tipping

Service is included in prices, and tipping is not expected. Rounding up or leaving small amounts for exceptional service is appreciated.

Working there

Hospitality workers benefit from strong unions and high wages, though costs for operators are high. EU/EEA citizens can work freely; non-EU workers need permits.

Rules on pay and visas change. Check official government guidance before you move.
