Foreword by Morgan Richez,
Co-Founder of Morgan & Mallet Hospitality
Every year, we help hundreds of luxury hotels, Michelin-star restaurants, and premium retail brands recruit exceptional talent. But year after year, the same question arises: What should we offer to attract the right candidates? The hospitality market evolves quickly, and employers often struggle to navigate compensation differences between regions, positions, and operational models. This is why we produce this annual salary guide. Our mission is to offer a reliable, transparent, and internationally relevant reference. This 2026 edition is the result of months of research, thousands of interviews, and ongoing collaboration with general managers, HR directors, executive chefs, casino operators, and luxury retail leaders worldwide. I hope this report supports your strategic decisions and helps you build strong, motivated teams for the year ahead.
