If you eat out at this time, you get a free shake as a side dish. Namely when the waiter comes with the bill. Seven euros for a bottle of mineral water, five euros for half a beer, 25 euros for a schnitzel. The Salzburg restaurateur Sepp Schellhorn is now losing his temper in the “Krone” interview. His account shows what goes wrong.
Because not only the guests groan under the prevailing inflation, but also the local restaurateurs. According to a recent study by the Chamber of Commerce, every tenth host in Austria is threatened with extinction. “I think the nagging about gastronomy is really superfluous. Presumably the hosts should all earn a golden nose. So why do so many people stop when it is supposedly so lucrative?” says the 55-year-old, who runs the “Seehof” in Goldegg and the “Angertal 1180” in Bad Hofgastein, among other things. The problem? “In Austria we always only talk about the price, but never about the quality.”
