Whether it’s a dish or a drink, flavor is an emotion that always tells a story. The culinary aspect is often complemented by selected communication strategists.

A holistic dining experience

Restaurateurs, manufacturers, and hoteliers know – and they are all true professionals at it – that guests appreciate a good product. But the story behind it is also part of the holistic enjoyment experience. To attract attention in advance, forward-thinking restaurateurs bring in PR professionals. Because what one person creates with culinary sophistication on a plate or in a glass, another serves up with communication expertise and a coordinated storytelling strategy for the media and target group. LifelikePR is a renowned PR agency for beverages, fine dining, and the hotel industry. Based in Salzburg, the culinary-savvy PR agency has been communicating on behalf of its clients in Austria and Germany since 2013.

Those who create enjoyment also serve emotion

“The truly great thing about our work is that we get to work with absolute top professionals. Whether beverage manufacturers, hoteliers, or chefs: our customers bring perfection in taste to the plate or into the glass. The range of creations is endless, and yet they all have one thing in common: they evoke genuine emotions”, Tina Jochmann (LifelikePR).

Not just an accessory, but an integral part of the world of enjoyment

“As a PR agency, our job is to reduce this emotion – sometimes refreshing, sometimes calming, cooling, warming, or harmonizing, sometimes simple or extravagant – to its smallest common denominator”, reveals Jochmann. She is talking about the “essence” of culinary communication, so to speak. This is how Life-Like PR defines the brand essence, recognizes the vision behind the product, and can communicate its potential to the target group via the media using strategy, content, and good storytelling. The result is comprehensive media coverage, plenty of talking points, and numerous guests who are not only hungry or thirsty, but first and foremost curious about the culinary experience.

Book tip: Lasagna, Moussaka, and Co. – Happiness in Layers

Ilse Fischer's “Lasagna, Moussaka, and Co.” is a culinary journey through Europe in casserole form

Casseroles are underestimated. They are often considered cozy, filling, a little old-fashioned—but they are actually culinary narrative forms. This is exactly where Ilse Fischer comes in. Lasagne, Moussaka und Co.: Das Glück in Schichten (Lasagna, Moussaka and Co.: Happiness in Layers) is not just another “lasagna book,” but a collection of cultural identities, layered in dough, vegetables, sauces, and memories.

What sets this book apart from classic recipe collections is its focus on the principle of layering. Fischer shows that whether it’s Italian vincigrassi, Greek pastitsio, Alsatian baeckeoffe, or Savoyard tartiflette, ingredients are layered, interwoven, and combined in the oven to create something greater than the sum of its parts throughout Europe. It’s about more than technique. It’s about origin, climate, availability, and food culture.

How price acceptance actually arises

Why guests are happy to pay the price for menus, rooms, and non-alcoholic alternatives when quality and character match

Price has long been more than just the result of a calculation. It is a signal. For attitude, for standards, for credibility. Guests read prices as a silent message about what a business stands for and how consistently it lives up to its promise of quality. Today, guests no longer pay for the cheapest option, but for the most harmonious one. For an offer where price, product, and atmosphere form a coherent whole.

Highballs, Deep Cuts & Vienna's New Underground

How Salon Paradise at The Hoxton is reinventing the night—and why Vienna's most exciting cultural space is emerging beneath it.

Vienna has many bars. But only a few places that truly create their own world. Salon Paradise is exactly that: not a nightclub, but a state of mind. A dimly lit basement bar where conversations become deeper, drinks taste clearer, and music doesn’t accompany, but leads. After the summer break, Vienna’s most iconic underground bar returns to The Hoxton, Vienna on November 22—with a new tempo, a new sound, and a sharpened attitude. The rebellious soul remains, but it now beats with greater focus.
