FROM A FOUR-DAY WEEK TO TEAM BUILDING – CREATIVE RECIPES TO COMBAT STAFF SHORTAGES IN THE RESTAURANT INDUSTRY

• Marius Ries, Owner of the Canova restaurant
• Tania Buchberger, restaurant manager at the Canova restaurant

Moderation: Margitta Eichelbaum, Zukunft Personal

Attractive working hours in the restaurant industry? Sounds adventurously unrealistic, but for Canova owner Marius Ries it is part of the overall concept of a functioning, customer-centric and contemporary restaurant business. On the Stage, he talks about the key factors and reasons for his entrepreneurial approach and how he has managed to put together a powerful, motivated team in these difficult times of skills shortages. And to keep them. He has his best reference with him: Tania Buchberger, restaurant manager at Canova, talks about her experiences and what brought her to Canova and made her stay there. And not just because the boss is listening in.

“If someone wlorks in our team, it should be possible to finance life: to live well, buy high-quality food, start a family (…), finance vacations and provide financially for the future.” So says Marius Ries, who runs the Canova restaurant in Bremen – and was one of the first restaurateurs in the north-west to introduce the four-day week a good two years ago.
