Descriptiontext

Hofbräuhaus Regensburg is a traditional Bavarian Wirtshaus (inn/tavern) operated as a sole proprietorship under Thomas Schafbauer e. K. The business has occupied its Waaggässchen 1 location in Regensburg's UNESCO World Heritage old town since 1930, with the Schafbauer family in continuous ownership since 1988. Its core offering centers on Bavarian regional cuisine and Münchner Hofbräu beer, including traditional dishes such as Herz vom Rost, Leber sauer, and Hofbräuhaus-Tatar, complemented by seasonal menus, a summer beer garden, and front patio seating. Kitchen service runs warm from 11:30 to 22:00, six to seven days per week, and the establishment is family-friendly with barrier-free rear access.

The revenue model is a straightforward transactional model with three streams: dine-in food and beverage sales (the primary stream), take-out (TOGO) via a dedicated daily menu, and gift vouchers (Geschenkgutscheine). Events such as the Maibock-Anstich spring beer tapping and seasonal fish dinners serve as demand-smoothing programming and brand reinforcement. Pricing is not publicly disclosed; reservations are handled by phone. Go-to-market relies on walk-ins, organic word-of-mouth, social media presence (Facebook, YouTube, Instagram), Google Business Profile visibility (approximately 600 Google reviews at 4.2 stars), and association-based community standing.

The customer base is exclusively consumer-facing — a mix of Regensburg residents and domestic/international tourists — with no enterprise or B2B accounts. Operating geography is single-site and domestic (Upper Palatinate / Bavaria region of Germany). The workforce spans 10 nationalities and is led by owner Thomas Schafbauer (Hotel-Betriebswirt and Küchenmeister) and his wife Karin, following the March 2024 passing of senior boss Hans Schafbauer. The business has no app, no public API, no disclosed technology platform, and no external investors or holding structures.
