An experienced partner for busy seasons and growing teams

The hospitality industry moves fast. Staffing needs shift quickly, and the wrong people – or too few of them – show up directly in your guest experience and your bottom line. We offer speed, flexibility and reliability for whatever situation you’re facing. Barona operates across Finland and the Nordic countries.

Whether you need one evening shift covered or an entire team built from scratch, we get the right people to where service matters most.

Let’s talk

The biggest surprise for me was how excellent the employees Barona managed to find in such a short time. I’d recommend Barona’s seasonal staffing package for any situation where you need staff temporarily and want to focus on running operations yourself. The greatest value of the package was undoubtedly how easy the whole process was – and of course, the successful outcome.

How we make sure service keeps running – whatever comes up

Every day in hospitality is different. That’s why staffing solutions need to flex too. We help ensure service runs smoothly in all situations – whether it’s day-to-day operations, an unexpected rush, a new opening or a longer-term development need.

We build solutions that genuinely fit your business. Below are examples of the ways we’ve supported hotels, restaurants and catering clients:

Staffing

A fast and reliable way to ensure you always have the people you need – whether it’s a full kitchen brigade for the weekend or extra front-of-house staff for a busy season.

Recruitment

Looking for a permanent head chef or a hotel operations manager? We handle the whole process, or support you wherever you need it most.

International recruitment

When local talent is in short supply, we connect you with skilled hospitality professionals from across borders – chefs, service staff and supervisors ready to contribute from day one.

Workforce wellbeing management

High turnover and shift pressure are facts of life in hotels and restaurants. We help make wellbeing management structured, measurable and impactful – so your team stays and performs.

Digital Onboarding & Training

We develop new skills together. Our training programmes bring motivated people into hospitality roles and prepare them for the fast-paced realities of the floor and the kitchen.

Recruitment Marketing & Employer Brand

Stand out as a hospitality employer in a competitive market. We help you attract the right candidates – and make sure they want to work for you.

Change Management & Coaching

Facing a restructure, a new opening or the need to adapt headcount? Bring in a responsible and respectful expert partner.
