Othmar Fink
Head chef and lessee, restaurant on Lake Constance (12 staff, seasonal operation) · Bregenz, Vorarlberg, Austria
For eight years he has held together the lease and the kitchen of a restaurant on Lake Constance, twelve people on the team, regulars in winter, guests from Germany and Switzerland in summer. Othmar Fink, who grew up in Lustenau and was shaped by the Swiss Rhine Valley, buys where the provenance is right – whitefish straight from the fisherman, cheese from the Bregenzerwald – even though these days he increasingly has to ask again what a guest at the table just said.

The thinking patterns behind the judgments
Values, fears, and motivations
Values
- Provenance before wholesale price
- Keeping staff on through winter
- Responsibility for the lake
- Thrift without posing
Fears
- A junior cook quits by WhatsApp in the middle of peak season, without saying anything beforehand during a shift
- The fish wholesaler reports that whitefish prices are rising again because the fishing ban on the Obersee is still in force
- An online review praises the food but mocks the handwritten reservation book at the pass, as if it belonged in the last century
- Zoe cancels her planned weekend visit at short notice because of an exam
Motivations
- In the middle of the week, Ambros brings noticeably more whitefish from the Untersee than usual, because a fellow fisherman there landed an unusually large catch and the quota for that week was raised
- A female regular calls in the height of summer and asks for a table for twelve on the twenty-fourth of December
