Redo Unternehmensgruppe

What Redo Unternehmensgruppe does

Redo Unternehmensgruppe is a privately held, founder-owned German gastronomy and event conglomerate headquartered in Potsdam, Brandenburg, and founded by René Dost in 1990. It operates more than 40 active business units across the Berlin-Brandenburg region, spanning casual XXL-portion restaurants (Redo XXL, 7+ locations), premium steakhouses (800° Prime Beef, 800° Four Bites), cafés (Café Heider, Das Wiener, Uschi), burger concepts (Burgerbüro), an in-house ice cream manufactory and cafés (Redo del Gelato, Café Bellini, RedoGelato), mobile catering with over 50 food concepts (Foodtruck Catering), three event venues (Kutschstall Ensemble, Eventhaus Ketzin, KW Eventcenter), a wellness hotel (Residenz Seehotel), and a coaching academy (Gastro Akademie). The portfolio is organized under a holding structure — Redo Gastro Invest GmbH as the registered primary entity, with Redo Group Holding GmbH as strategic center, and separate wholly-owned operating subsidiaries per brand/location.

The group generates revenue through multiple streams: dine-in restaurant transactions across casual and premium formats, accommodation and event fees at the hotel and three venues, mobile and on-site catering for corporate clients (Vattenfall, Mercedes, Deutsche Bahn), weddings and private celebrations, branded merchandise and a published book via an e-commerce shop, and paid coaching/consulting services to external gastronomy entrepreneurs. Pricing is unit-based and not publicly disclosed. Distribution is primarily physical and regional, supplemented by an in-house media agency (RedoMEDIA), the founder's 500,000+ social media following, and a recruiting site (redo-karriere.de). Go-to-market combines a direct-to-consumer multi-location model with B2B event-driven catering and a community-led founder brand. The reported headcount is 210+ employees, and the company claims 8 million+ guests served historically across its three decades of operation.
