The Dining Guide\u2019s latest in-depth interview features two leading figures in the Hungarian catering and hospitality industry: Zolt\u00e1n K\u0151r\u00f6ssy, the \u201ebusiness sculptor\u201d, and G\u00e1bor Nagy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Eventrend Group is well known in the Hungarian hospitality industry. The group, which is celebrating its 30th anniversary this year, with its two founders, Zolt\u00e1n K\u0151r\u00f6ssy and G\u00e1bor Nagy spoke to the Dining Guide<\/a> their business models in the face of changing market conditions. There was talk of their latest major venture \u2013 taking over the management of Gundel Restaurant \u2013 and the reopening of the legendary restaurant in December 2021. We can look forward to a similarly significant opening from Eventrend in 2022, with a 21st-century \u201ereimagining\u201d of the Centr\u00e1l K\u00e1v\u00e9h\u00e1z in Budapest city centre.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

One of the hallmarks of the group\u2019s operations is its presence in several areas of the hospitality and catering sectors, with numerous projects ranging from the sports bistro in the capital to the event boat on the Danube, from the Hungarian restaurant in the Great Market Hall to the City Park Caf\u00e9, and from the Cziniel Confectionery on the banks of the Danube to the Evez\u0151s Beer Garden.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Zolt\u00e1n K\u0151r\u00f6ssy describes the strategic thinking they apply in the following way: \u201eWe want to gain a deep understanding of what makes a company run smoothly and map it out for ourselves; in fact, just like a chemist, we want to break it down into its constituent parts. Once we sense and understand \u2013 indeed, feel almost at our fingertips \u2013 the many sub-areas that, taken together, make up a company\u2019s operations, we can then reassemble them to ensure successful operation. That is why we are able to run 35 projects in parallel, because<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

\u201dWe have broken down the company\u2019s operations into their constituent parts, just like a good chemist, and thanks to this we are now able to create ever more complex compounds \u2013 that is, companies.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

G\u00e1bor Nagy replied as follows when asked whether, throughout their colourful career spanning several decades, they actually consider themselves to be creators within their profession.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201eWe actually have our own reasons. Gundel, for example, is not \u2013 in our view \u2013 about needing another venue and Gundel just \u00bbcoming in handy\u00ab, but rather<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There are certain milestones in a person\u2019s life that will never be matched by anything else.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

An architect might be called upon to design, say, Kossuth Square; an opportunity of this calibre comes along only once, and leaves its mark for decades. \u201dThe New York Caf\u00e9, Gundel and the Centr\u00e1l K\u00e1v\u00e9h\u00e1z are all unique venues with their own history and identity, and it would be impossible to treat them all according to the same template,\u201d said G\u00e1bor Nagy.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
