Altes Rathaus

What Altes Rathaus does

Altes Rathaus Kaarst is a privately held multi-service hospitality business headquartered at Rathausstr. 3 in Kaarst, Germany. Founded in 2012, the company operates a restaurant and bar featuring Flammkuchen (tarte flambée) baked fresh in an in-house stone oven branded as the "Flammenteria," alongside cocktails, beverages, and XXL Hotdogs. The Flammkuchen menu spans 12+ varieties including traditional Elsass, Hawaiian, Salami, Lachs, and vegetarian options, with the stone oven cited as the core proprietary technology enabling fresh, high-temperature preparation.

The business extends beyond the four walls of the venue through two additional service lines: "Foodstop," a mobile catering operation that brings Flammkuchen and XXL Hotdogs to festivals, corporate events, weddings, and private celebrations across the North Rhine-Westphalia region, and "A+ Event," an equipment rental service (operated via sister brand aplus-event.de) offering beer mugs, glasses, standing tables, tent pavilions, sanitary trailers, heating equipment, grills, smokers, cooling trailers, beer wagons, and toilet wagons. The venue also hosts private events, corporate functions, themed parties, and live music evenings.

The revenue model is transactional and multi-stream: walk-in dining and bar service, per-event venue hire for closed societies and corporate events, mobile catering bookings, equipment rental, and gift certificate sales. Customer segments include individual consumers (primary), corporate clients (primary), and event organizers (secondary). Pricing is not publicly disclosed; quotes are obtained via phone or email. The company is independently owned, with no institutional investors, no funding history, and no public listing. Marketing is conducted through Facebook, Instagram, and the company website. Geographic scope is regional, limited to North Rhine-Westphalia.
