Casa Petrina, a Business with the Taste of “Home” – How a Family Restaurant Is Run
Katalin Orosz

In a new podcast episode dedicated to family entrepreneurship, we get to know Casa Petrina, a business founded by a couple who chose to build a company together, rooted in their passion for “home-style” cooking, prepared just like their mothers used to make it. We explore the advantages of this business model, how decisions are made when family members work together, how responsibilities are divided, and perhaps the most difficult challenge of all: how to separate the role of life partner from that of colleague.

As the company grows and the need for systems and procedures emerges, Casa Petrina proves that in a family business, leadership is exercised not only through rules, but also through involvement, trust, and emotion. Watch the full podcast below:
