A practical book with attitude

Zukunftsküche is a systematically structured, practical guide for restaurateurs who want to make their business ecologically, economically and socially fit for the future. The author combines scientifically sound analyses with practicable tools - above all the specially developed S.M.A.R.T. recipe, which makes sustainability tangible and applicable. The book goes far beyond moral appeals: it offers step-by-step instructions, clear examples, interactive workshop impulses and inspiring best cases from the industry.

More than just “green”: brand expertise is key

The combination of sustainability and successful brand development is particularly exciting. Tarsoly - himself a branding expert - shows how sustainable concepts can be made visible and become part of a restaurant's DNA. This is not only ecologically valuable, but also economically clever. Because a clear stance creates a profile - and that in turn attracts new guests, loyal regular customers and committed employees.

A future-oriented toolbox

Whether plant-based cuisine, supply chain optimization, communication or employee retention - the book addresses all relevant levers for a holistic transformation. And it leaves room for individuality: everyone can determine the pace and depth of change themselves. The aim is to develop concepts that suit the company and personality - and still (or precisely because of this) have an impact.

Our conclusion

“Zukunftsküche” is a must-read for anyone who sees gastronomy not as a backward-looking cultivation of tradition, but as a creative stage for social change. It is an encouraging, well thought-out and absolutely contemporary book that sees sustainability not as a restriction, but as an opportunity. A clear appeal: the future can be shaped - with knowledge, attitude and a plan.

Experience Tampa

The City's Best Leisure, Cultural, and Hidden Gems

Tampa is a city defined not by headlines, but by experiences. Nestled between water, history, design, and a surprising depth of culture, it unfolds as a destination that offers far more than just beaches and sunshine. Look closer, and you’ll discover an urban energy that’s thoughtfully curated yet leaves room for genuine, unplanned moments. This guide takes you through precisely these facets: well-researched, tried-and-true, and with an eye for details you don’t Google – you experience.

When “It’s okay” Isn’t Okay

May’s Invitation: Listen More Closely

Let’s start with a little communication test. No rankings. At most, with the question: How well do we actually listen, or how precisely do we express ourselves?
