Paul Kolarik | Kolarik im Prater

Paul Kolarik is an entrepreneur who combines tradition and innovation and sets new standards for sustainable catering with his commitment. Even as a child, he showed enthusiasm for the family business. After completing his training at the catering college on Judenplatz, he completed the "Gastronomy and Culinary Management" course at the Vienna University of Applied Sciences of the Austrian Federal Economic Chamber, followed by an MBA in General Management at the Joseph Schumpeter Institute in Wels.

In 2020, Kolarik and his wife took over the management of Kolarik im Prater GmbH. Together, they are leading the business into the future with a clear vision and focus on sustainability and organic quality.

Sustainability at a business level is essential to ensure the future viability of the industry. Social sustainability plays a key role here, as it creates a balance between economic success and social responsibility. A business that takes social aspects seriously not only contributes to improving local living conditions, but also secures its own growth, credibility and continued existence in an increasingly value-orientated world.
