Hospitality never stops. Guest demand shifts by the week, events surge unexpectedly, and seasonal patterns vary by region. Whether you operate a golf course, resort, winery, hotel group, restaurant, ski operation, or multi-property system, you need a workforce strategy that goes beyond any single visa category.

We help hospitality employers build reliable, compliant workforce strategies using a full suite of immigration tools — plus domestic recruitment when immigration isn’t the right option.

Built For Hospitality Operations

We understand the unique staffing needs of:

  • Golf courses (greens crews, clubhouse, F&B, events, turf management)
  • Resorts
  • Hotels
  • Ski resorts & winter destinations
  • Restaurants & fine dining
  • Wineries & agritourism destinations
  • Event and conference centers
  • Theme parks & attractions
  • Multi-property hospitality groups

Your strategy must work across:

  • High turnover
  • Seasonal swings
  • Weather-dependent demand
  • Large events & tournaments
  • Restaurant & F&B operations
  • Year-round operational roles
  • Staffing multiple properties at once
  • Guest experience standards

Workforce Solutions For Hospitality Employers

H-2B — Seasonal & Peakload Support for Hospitality

We help determine:

  • Whether your season truly qualifies
  • Which roles belong under H-2B
  • How to structure job duties correctly
  • Whether peakload or seasonal arguments are defensible


Ideal for:

  • Greens crews & turf staff (golf courses)
  • Housekeeping
  • Servers, bartenders & F&B
  • Line cooks & BOH roles
  • Front desk & concierge
  • Ski lift operators & resort staff
  • Event & banquet teams
  • Recreation and activities

H-2A — For Agritourism, Wineries & Crop-Integrated Hospitality

H-2A applies only when the hospitality business also operates a bona fide agricultural enterprise, and workers perform duties directly related to agricultural labor or services.

 

Used strategically for:

  • Wineries (vineyard labor tied to wine production)
  • Agritourism operations with crop production
  • Resort or golf course gardens where crops are grown and used in dining

J-1 Summer Work & Travel / J-1 Intern-Trainee

The J-1 is not a labor visa and not a labor solution. It is a cultural exchange program overseen by the U.S. State Department.

J-1 is also a powerful tool for international hospitality businesses, who use it to rotate trainees, develop future leaders, and create consistency in global service standards.


We support:

  • Guest-facing seasonal roles
  • Hospitality interns
  • Trainees in structured programs

Domestic Recruitment — When You Need Workers Fast

We supply U.S.-authorized workers for:

  • Housekeeping
  • Grounds & greens crews
  • Restaurant & kitchen support
  • Facilities & maintenance
  • Event staff
  • Recreation & resort roles

EB-3 — The Retention Solution for Hospitality

Ideal for:

  • Housekeepers
  • Line cooks
  • Laundry attendants
  • Maintenance & facilities
  • Kitchen technicians
  • Supervisory positions (when duties qualify)
  • Year-round restaurant positions


Skilled & Professional Visas

  • TN
  • H-1B
  • L-1 for multinational hospitality groups

Year-Round & Seasonal Strategy For Hospitality

We tailor workforce plans around:

  • Summer seasons
  • Winter and ski seasons
  • Shoulder seasons
  • Golf seasons
  • Major events
  • Resort openings
  • F&B cycles

Emergency Workforce Support

When your filing is delayed, workers don’t arrive on time, or you face a sudden operational need, we step in with:

  • Emergency strategic guidance
  • Domestic Recruitment options
  • Immediate role-by-role assessments
  • Alternative visa pathways
  • Short-term stabilization plans

Compliance For Hospitality Employers

H-2A and H-2B are powerful — but risky when mismanaged.

We support:

  • Notices of Deficiency
  • Notices of Audit Examination
  • Workforce trainings
  • Job duty alignment
  • Visa program selection
  • Documentation systems
  • Multi-property compliance
