Marek Gąsienica
Cost Specialist
Why does Marek watch over your money?
Marek joined Tatry Peak Management in November 2018. For 14 years, he managed costs in a large guesthouse in Bukowina Tatrzańska, so he knows every trick of meat and vegetable suppliers. Here, he deals with what is most important: ensuring more cash stays in your register at the end of the month. He doesn't like Excel sheets that only look good on a screen. For him, what happens in the warehouse and on the plate is what counts.
His method is simple. Numbers don't lie. Marek enters the kitchen, checks invoices from the last 4 months, and catches errors that no one else sees. In 2023 alone, he conducted 87 audits that reduced the cost of purchasing goods by an average of 14.6%. All this without changing the menu and without losing the taste of the dishes. Marek simply knows where to look for savings that escape the eyes of a tired owner.
Specific results of work
Marek doesn't write thick reports that no one has time to read. Instead, you get a list of 7–9 quick changes to be implemented immediately. For example, in a restaurant at Krupówki in March 2024, he reduced the inventory time from 6 hours to 104 minutes. Work done on time is a fundamental for him, which is why he focuses on specifics, not on theorizing about management.
- Reducing bar losses by an average of 11.3% within the first 2 months of cooperation.
- Detecting overpayments to energy suppliers for a total amount of 4,820 PLN in one facility in Q2 2024.
- Introducing a simple weighing system that stopped the waste of goods in the kitchen.
- Training 14 employees in the principles of efficient weight-based delivery acceptance.
Marek believes that honesty and hard data matter in gastronomy and hospitality. If he sees money escaping through a mess in the paperwork, he will say it directly. He doesn't mince words because he respects your time and your wallet. No more wasting goods – that is his main goal with every new assignment. He can be tough on suppliers, but thanks to that, our clients pay exactly as much as they should.
P.S. Marek usually responds to emails within 47 minutes, unless he is sitting in a client's cold room checking product expiration dates. If you want him to review your latest invoices, send a request for a preliminary audit today.
