About us
Madritsch Gastroconcepts was born from a deep-rooted belief that gastronomy is more than just food or drinks—it's an experience that blends storytelling, strategy, and service.
Behind the Bar to Behind the Business
Founded by Sarah Madritsch, Madritsch Gastroconcepts began as a vision to bridge the gap between creative culinary artistry and operational excellence.
After years behind the bar and in hospitality leadership, Sarah saw a recurring need: businesses with potential lacked tailored strategies to thrive long-term. That's when she decided to turn her expertise into something bigger.

The Story of Rhomvaris, our Creative spirit
Rhomvaris is more than a name—it's a reflection of our creative philosophy.
"Rhom" the rhombus: a shape rooted in geometry, balance, and timeless structure. It reflects our commitment to clarity, precision, and operational strength
"Varis" comes from Latin, meaning change or diversity. It speaks to our embrace of evolution, flexibility, and the dynamic nature of gastronomy.
Together, Rhomvaris represents our ethos: blending order with creativity, consistency with innovation. It's the foundation for how we craft hospitality concepts that are both resilient and remarkable.
