Eurest at Vienna Airport: best service provider at Business Night!

An outstanding award for an anxious restaurateur company: On May 27, 2025, the catering operation in the "Best Service Center" category was awarded during the "Vienna Airport Business Night". The event took place in the Vienna Airport Conference & Innovation Center and honored companies from Vienna Airportcity, which have emerged through innovative strength, service quality and professional competence. Eurest, which has been working at Vienna since 2021, received the award for its exemplary pension service for airport employees and for Austrian Airlines, but is also known for the gastronomic offer that the country cannot do.

"We are proud of this award," emphasizes Georg Hirsch-Stronstorff, Managing Director of EUROST Austria, and emphasizes his team's commitment. EUREST has continuously expanded the gastronomic offer in recent years and has now also operated the catering of the airport kindergarten and the public operating restaurant "One Two Eat" in Office Park 4.

a milestone in community catering

EUREST, a subsidiary of the Compass Group PLC, can look back on over 50 years of experience in community catering. With more than 1,400 employees: Inside and a daily supply of over 60,000 guests in more than 140 companies and institutions in Austria, the company is well established. The focus is on quality, freshness and taste, and this is also valued by the airports across the airport.

The award was presented by Wolfgang Scheibenpflug (Flughafen Wien AG), Georg Hirsch-Stronstorff and Balazs Csurgay, the site manager of Eurest at Vienna Airport. This appreciation is not only recognized for the team, but also an incentive to further develop the offer and to further expand the high quality of care in the catering of employees.

gastronomic trends in air traffic

In the context of the total location at airports, gastronomic offers are now very popular. The trend shows that passenger numbers are increasing, as can be observed at the large airports. In Germany, for example, the top 12 airports had achieved more than 469 million euros in foodservice net solutions in 2019. Even if Vienna cannot keep up here, the catering businesses, such as EUREST, are, especially on sustainability and a diversified offer.

The challenges in the food service area are undisputed: the extraction and commitment of qualified employees as well as the constant adaptation to the changing needs of the guests play a central role. The performance of EUREST, which can already score with an attractive offer, is all the more impressive.

In summary, it can be said: EUREST not only won the title "Best service provider" at Vienna Airport, but also played an important role in the culinary landscape in the public sector. This continues to ensure that Vienna Airport is a place of enjoyment in which freshness, quality and customer orientation are the focus.
