About us

The hospitality industry relies on ideas, people, spaces and processes. It is changing faster than ever, driven by shifting needs, ways of working, cost structures, sustainability requirements and new digital tools.

Those developing and implementing hospitality concepts today need more than inspiration. They need a partner who understands the business holistically, from initial ideas to day-to-day operations. Think Gastro is the consulting brand of Konen & Lorenzen, and we specialise in exactly this.

Think Gastro draws on over 25 years of experience in the hospitality sector. With Konen & Lorenzen Recruitment Consultants, we have supported companies and personalities from hotels, gastronomy and tourism for over two decades. During this time, we have built an extensive network and gained a deep understanding of how hospitality businesses work and what makes them successful.

We know the industry from many perspectives. We know its structures and processes, its challenges and opportunities. And through our long‑standing work with companies, executives and talent, we know that, at the end of every successful concept, there are people who bring it to life.

With Think Gastro, we consistently carry this experience forward. We combine our expertise from recruitment and people consulting with strategic and operational consulting, covering everything from company formation and concept development to organisation, processes, people, positioning, and the further development of existing operations.

We don’t offer off-the-shelf solutions. We want to understand what makes an idea special, where its potential lies, and how a vision can become a viable, working hospitality concept – or to be further developed.

We go about hospitality holistically. We think entrepreneurially and practically, always focusing on the people who make the difference.
