Friedreich Hospitality comes to the Parliament
In the future, our country’s employees can look forward to their work in parliament even more, because the parliament will be supported in culinary terms in the future by a consortium around Friedreich Hospitality.

We wish Christine Friedreich, who embodies a true Konsultori Role Model, much success with this milestone and in the implementation of this great project.
“As of today, it’s official: Friedreich Hospitality will operate the catering and event facilities of the Austrian Parliament together with Labstelle and Gaumenglück! We are more than proud and honestly still can’t quite believe it. We are looking forward to a new adventure, new challenges and a lot of great moments as hosts.
