Bauch Food Concept GmbH is a hospitality consultancy based in Kühlungsborn, Germany. Its managing director, Georg Bauch, a chef and consultant with decades of experience, helps restaurants, cafés, quick-service outlets, hotels and contract caterers run at a profit, working by video across Europe and on site on request.

Bauch Food Concept GmbH advises restaurants, hotels and contract caterers on the questions that decide whether a business succeeds: profitability and KPIs, concept and offer, processes and standards, people and organisation, and investment. Its approach is to price dishes by contribution margin in euros, not by food cost percentage alone. Alongside remote consulting, the company offers free guides, checklists and calculators, a Costing Kit and knowledge volumes, each with the VAT rates and minimum wages of 30 European countries. Its managing partner is Georg Bauch, a chef with decades of experience in fine dining, hotels, contract catering and events.

Georg Bauch knows both sides of hospitality: the full pass on a Saturday night and the monthly figures at the desk. After training in a five-star hotel, he led kitchens in fine dining, hotels, contract catering and events, then worked independently around the world. Today, through Bauch Food Concept GmbH, he structures businesses, builds reliable standards and prepares the decision papers that owners and managers steer by.

The consulting follows five core areas: profitability and KPIs, concept and offer, processes and standards, people and organisation, and investment and the future. The principle behind them is simple: what matters is how many euros a dish contributes to fixed costs after food and labour, not a percentage rule of thumb. Every engagement has a fixed scope and a clear result, from a free first call to fixed-price packages by video and longer-term mandates.

Among his current work, Georg Bauch is helping a municipal utility reposition its campus catering and acts as external F&B manager for restaurant businesses.

Through free guides, calculators and knowledge volumes, Bauch Food Concept makes business know-how available to the whole industry, in country editions for 30 European countries. From January 2027, a new volume is released every quarter, available on its own or in the membership.
