Strategic Hospitality Consulting

Hospitality consulting for sustainable profitability

We identify where profit is being lost, which decisions have the greatest financial impact, and how hospitality businesses can improve their structures in a targeted way.

Hospitality business in operation

Where profitability is lost

High occupancy does not automatically mean stable profit

Many businesses do not lose earnings in one single area, but through several smaller weaknesses in day-to-day operations.

  • Unclear pricing and costing structure
  • Contribution margins that are too low
  • Overly extensive menus
  • High staffing and process costs
  • Lack of break-even transparency

GastroSupport analyses these factors systematically and derives clear priorities for action.

Consulting based on real hospitality experience

Vjekoslav Ostojic

GastroSupport is led by Vjekoslav Ostojic – hospitality entrepreneur, graduate economist in tourism and hotel management, and long-standing Food & Beverage manager.

For more than 25 years, he has worked across different areas of gastronomy and hospitality: from restaurants, bars and tourism businesses to international hotel operations and the development and management of his own hospitality concepts. His experience includes operational management, F&B management, staffing and cost control, concept development, new openings, and the reorganisation of existing processes and profit centres.

Today, he combines this hands-on experience with sound commercial analysis. GastroSupport therefore stands not for theoretical standard consulting, but for realistic, actionable decisions that work in everyday hospitality operations and improve profitability sustainably.
