A week after the start of the restructuring process, the first potential buyers already showed interest in Burgerista. The trustee has now been able to determine the following course: the continuation of business operations has been secured, the eight civilian bars affected remain open. 130 employees are still waiting for their June salary.
The lockdowns hurt, when the wave of inflation – Burgerista Operations GmbH cited this combination as the reason why the hamburger chain operating from Traun (Upper Austria) had to file the restructuring application. A week after the opening of the bankruptcy, liquidator Rudolf Mitterlehner received a first overview. Now it is clear: it continues!
130 employees are still waiting for June salaries
“There is enough money to continue the local business,” says the lawyer. Eight Burgerista restaurants are affected by the financial turmoil, four in Upper Austria, three in Vienna and one in Salzburg. The bankruptcy compensation fund is being used to ensure that the 130 employees receive the outstanding June salary as soon as possible: “We are trying to get an advance for July.” Employees are informed at company meetings.
Important: Customers continue to place their trust in the chain, which helps in the fight for the future. Speaking of the future: the courtship of the burger chain has begun. The first potential buyers have already contacted Mitterlehner, who emphasizes that no negotiations have yet taken place.
