The Studio · Lindwurmstrasse 113, Munich

Not an office. Our living room.

Just below Goetheplatz sits our Studio: a hangout for the crew, a training centre for real hospitality craft, and the place where we meet our clients. Internal, personal — and pretty one of a kind.

Crew, trainings & client meetings only — not for hire, not open to the public

One space, three jobs

What happens at the Studio.

After-Work & Community

After-work beers instead of file numbers: this is where the crew meets, gets to know each other and grows together — at regular after-work hangouts and crew events.

Training Centre

From polishing cutlery to wine service: in our service trainings you learn the craft from the ground up. Barista training is up next.

Client Meetings

Events, celebrations, upcoming shifts — discussed in person instead of over the phone. Clients meet us at the Studio over a coffee and plan the next job with us.

Training Centre

You don't learn service from videos.

That's why we train at the Studio — at a real table, with real glasses, real cutlery. Our service training takes you through it step by step:

Polishing cutlery & glasses — the foundation of every service
Setting the table: from banquet to à la carte
The complete service sequence — step by step
Proper wine service: presenting, opening, pouring
Serving with a tray — moving safely through a packed room
Carrying three plates like a pro
Etiquette & how to carry yourself in front of guests

After the training: your sealed certificate.

Everyone who completes the service training at the studio gets it in writing: a certificate bearing the Gastro & Friends seal. It certifies every single skill you were trained in — from table setting and wine service to carrying three plates like a pro.

For our clients

The seal stands for proven quality: whoever holds it has been trained by us in every area of professional service work — a standard any business can rely on.

For you & your career

The certificate is yours to keep — with every skill listed individually. Perfect for your CV and any future application, wherever your path takes you.

Voices from the crew

From the studio straight into the field.

“I did the training at the studio and was on my first shift shortly after — you learn something with every job. Here, you don't stand still.”

Travis H.
Service & Bar

“Service at a corporate event today, behind the espresso machine at a trade-fair coffee bar next week: every shift is different — that's exactly what keeps this job exciting.”

Mehmed D.
Barista & Service

“The after-works at the studio are the reason this feels like a real team — not like a number in a file. People know each other, people help each other.”

Fabian F.
Bartender

Client Meetings

Events are better planned face to face.

Planning an event, a celebration or regular staffing with us? Then let's meet at the Studio: sofa corner, a coffee or water, all the details on the table. Planning doesn't get more personal than this.

And sometimes…

…we just throw a party here.

A live band in the neon room, beer pong in the event room, the courtyard packed with people: our crew parties are proof that "community" isn't a marketing word around here.
