About Peter

I am an experienced specialist and executive expert with over 15 years of professional experience in hospitality, gastronomy, project management, and operational management. My focus is on developing practical concepts, optimizing workflows, and successfully implementing projects – from the initial idea to ongoing operations.

I support hotels, restaurants, tourism businesses, and other service companies in areas such as opening businesses, repositioning, process optimization, offer and concept development, and organizing daily operations. I combine strategic thinking with a keen understanding of the operational challenges in a business.

My further strengths include recruiting and onboarding employees, leadership development, training, guest communication, complaint management, and creating professional operating documents, checklists, quotes, and templates.

My working method is reliable, solution-oriented, and hands-on. I listen carefully, identify potential for improvement, and develop solutions that fit the specific business, the team, and the available resources.

My services include in particular:

Project management and operational support
Hotel, gastronomy, and tourism concepts
Opening and reorganization projects
Process optimization and quality management
Recruiting, onboarding, and employee development
Leadership training and practical training
Offer design, guest communication, and administration
Creation of checklists, templates, and operating documentation

My goal is not only to advise companies but also to develop sustainable, economical, and practically implementable solutions together with them.
