Was lerne ich in einem Kurs für das Wirtepatent?

Die Inhalte des kantonalen Wirtepatents können sehr unterschiedlich sein, so dass Sie immer darauf achten müssen, einen Kurs zu besuchen, der den Anforderungen Ihres Kantons entspricht. Für die Kantone Lurzern, Nidwalden und Obwalden sind dies beispielsweise: Gastgewerbegesetz, Suchtprävention und Alkoholgesetz, Sozialversicherungen, Lebensmittelrecht und Hygiene, Arbeits- und Ausländerrecht sowie Brandschutz. Für den Kanton St. Gallen werden die Themen „Lebensmittelrecht und Hygiene“ sowie „Suchtprävention“ geprüft, im Thurgau „Gastgewerberecht“, „Lebensmittelrecht“, „Alkoholrecht und Suchtprävention“, „Sozialversicherungs- und Steuerecht“ sowie „Arbeits- und Ausländerrecht“. Für das in der ganzen Schweiz anerkannte Zertifikat GastroSuisse G1 legen Sie die Module „Hygiene“, „Gastrinomisches Recht“, „Recht“, „Rechnungswesen“, „Betriebsführung und -organisation“, „Service/Verkauf“ sowie „Küche“ ab.

Wie lange dauert der Wirtepatent-Lehrgang?

Je nach Kanton und seinen kantonalen Bestimmungen müssen angehende Wirte / Wirtinnen unterschiedlich viel Wissen erwerben, um die Wirteprüfung zu bestehen. So dauert die Ausbildung zum Wirtepatent je nach Kanton etwa zwischen vier Wochen mit einem Arbeitsaufwand von acht Stunden pro Woche und vier Monaten mit demselben Arbeitsaufwand.

Ist ein Wirtepatent in allen Kantonen anerkannt?

Ein Wirtepatent, das Sie im Kanton Luzern erlangen, muss nicht zwangsläufig in Bern anerkannt werden, eines, welches Sie im Kanton Aargau ablegen, nicht unbedingt im Kanton Basel-Land. Neben den kantonalen Patenten gibt es jedoch auch überregionale, die von einigen Schulen angeboten werden und schweizweit anerkannt werden, so dass Sie nicht auf das Führen eines Gastronomiebetriebes ausschliesslich in einem Kanton festgelegt sind.

Muss ich für das Wirtepatent bereits in der Gastronomie gearbeitet haben?

Es ist mit Ausnahme des Kantons Aargau nicht zwingend erforderlich, dass Sie für das Ablegen der Prüfung zum Wirtepatent bereits in der Gastronomie gearbeitet haben, wenngleich dies selbstverständlich von Vorteil ist. Auch Quereinsteiger können einen Kurs besuchen und die Prüfung ablegen. Um im Kanton Aargau zur Prüfung zugelassen zu werden, müssen 6 Monate Gastgewerbe-Erfahrung oder Berufserfahrung mit Lebensmitteln nachgewiesen werden.

Brauche ich in jedem Kanton das Wirtepatent?

Das Wirtepatent oder die Wirteprüfung ist nicht in jeden Kanton zur Führung eines obligatorisch gastronomischen Betriebs obligatorisch, jedoch in den meisten. Ohne ein solches Patent wird Ihnen keine Betriebsbewilligung für ein Restaurant, einen Club, eine Bar, ein Café oder ein anderes Lokal ausgestellt. Da die kantonalen Gastgewerbegesetzte allerdings sehr verschieden sind, gelten an die angehenden Gastwirte jedoch auch unterschiedliche Anforderungen. Lediglich in den Kantonen Graubünden, Uri, Schwyz, Glarus, Appenzell-Ausserroden, Neuchâtel, Zug und Zürich ist der Besuch eines Wirtekurses oder einer Wirtefachschule freiwillig, jedoch auch hier zu empfehlen.

Landlord's license: Obtain the license to run your own catering business with the landlord's course

Are you a people person, do you enjoy working in a team and do you have a flair for delicious drinks and fine food? Do you dream of running your own pub, bar, café, canteen or restaurant? Make your dreams come true and obtain the necessary landlord's license.

Further training that's fun: learn the basics of gastronomy, business and personnel management, reception and guest care on the publican course. The patent for innkeepers opens up completely new opportunities for you: whether you run a small pub, a large restaurant or even a hotel, with the know-how you have learned you are ideally equipped for this demanding management task.

The certificate examination is completed at cantonal level and is therefore unfortunately not (yet) federally recognized. However, this course offers you the opportunity to become a competent host or hostess in a restaurant in the near future. To this end, you will acquire extensive knowledge in the most diverse areas of gastronomy, regardless of whether it is a matter of hiring foreign workers, coordinating daily and monthly accounts, ordering food, general personnel management or dealing with the authorities, which are also part of gastronomy. Learn the versatile trade of a restaurateur from scratch and be prepared for your first own restaurant. Are you interested in this type of training?

On the Swiss education portal Ausbildung-Weiterbildung.ch, you will find suitable training courses for your host specialist course, which will guarantee you a host's license. Don't hesitate and find out about the next cantonal course today, free of charge and without obligation.

Questions and answers

What do I learn in a course for the landlord's license?

The contents of the cantonal landlord's license can vary greatly, so you must always ensure that you attend a course that meets the requirements of your canton. For the cantons of Lurzern, Nidwalden and Obwalden, for example, these are: Hospitality Industry Act, Addiction Prevention and Alcohol Act, Social Insurance, Food Law and Hygiene, Employment and Aliens Law and Fire Safety. For the canton of St. Gallen, the topics "Food Law and Hygiene" and "Addiction Prevention" are examined, and in Thurgau "Hospitality Law", "Food Law", "Alcohol Law and Addiction Prevention", "Social Security and Tax Law" and "Employment and Aliens Law". For the GastroSuisse G1 certificate, which is recognized throughout Switzerland, you take the modules "Hygiene", "Gastronomic Law", "Law", "Accounting", "Business Management and Organization", "Service/Sales" and "Kitchen".

How long does the Wirtepatent course last?

Depending on the canton and its cantonal regulations, prospective landlords and landladies have to acquire different amounts of knowledge in order to pass the landlord's examination. Depending on the canton, the training for a landlord's license takes between four weeks with a workload of eight hours per week and four months with the same workload.

Is a landlord patent recognized in all cantons?

A landlord's certificate that you obtain in the canton of Lucerne is not necessarily recognized in Bern, and one that you obtain in the canton of Aargau is not necessarily recognized in the canton of Basel-Land. In addition to cantonal certificates, however, there are also supra-regional certificates offered by some schools that are recognized throughout Switzerland, so you are not restricted to running a catering business in one canton only.

Do I have to have already worked in the catering industry to obtain a landlord's license?

With the exception of the canton of Aargau, it is not essential that you have already worked in the catering industry to take the examination for the landlord's license, although this is of course an advantage. Career changers can also attend a course and take the exam. In order to be admitted to the examination in the canton of Aargau, 6 months of experience in the hospitality industry or professional experience with food must be proven.

Do I need a landlord's license in every canton?

The publican's certificate or publican's examination is not compulsory in every canton for running a compulsory catering business, but it is in most of them. Without such a license, you will not be issued an operating permit for a restaurant, club, bar, café or other establishment. However, as the cantonal hospitality laws vary greatly, there are also different requirements for prospective restaurateurs. Only in the cantons of Graubünden, Uri, Schwyz, Glarus, Appenzell-Ausserroden, Neuchâtel, Zug and Zurich is attendance at a course or college for publicans voluntary, although this is also recommended.
