Class code 9052 — Hotel — Restaurant Employees
Restaurant staff working within a hotel property.
This classification applies specifically to restaurant employees working within a hotel property, separating food and beverage operations from the hotel's general front desk and housekeeping staff. It covers hotel dining rooms, room service, and hotel bars and lounges.
Payroll typically includes hotel restaurant cooks and servers, room service delivery staff, banquet and event staff for hotel functions, and hotel bartenders. This can range from a small breakfast counter operation to a full banquet and event department handling large conferences and weddings.
Injury exposure mirrors general restaurant risk, with burns, cuts, and slips being the most common claims, plus added strain from room-service deliveries carried through hallways and elevators. Banquet-heavy hotels can see higher lifting and setup exposure during large events compared to a hotel with only a small restaurant.
