Zdeněk Pohlreich visits struggling inn near Nový Bor

Chef Zdeněk Pohlreich is visiting the U Zlatého buřtu inn in Pihel, near Nový Bor, as part of the television program ‘Ano, šéfe!’. The establishment, currently managed by Zuzka and Štěpán, is facing significant economic challenges despite having customers.

Operators report difficulties with profitability, citing potential issues with expensive purchasing and poor investment strategies. Specifically, Štěpán noted struggles with economics and cost-saving, while Zuzka pointed to megalomaniacal purchasing habits that lead to insufficient remaining funds.

Pohlreich’s evaluation includes a review of the kitchen's hygiene, food storage, and staff workflow. He criticized the menu for being uninspired and served cold, specifically noting issues with the preparation of a rice pudding. The intervention aims to overhaul the restaurant's operations and management.
