At The Atrium Café, culinary artistry and heartfelt hospitality come together through the partnership of Csaba Brunner and Veronika T. Brunner. Csaba, a qualified chef with experience across Hungary and Scotland, brings a flair for Asian-inspired cooking and a love of experimenting with flavours, resulting in unique dishes enjoyed by customers and the local community.
Veronika, whose background spans hospitality and sales roles across Hungary and internationally, brings strong customer care and problem-solving skills to the café. Together, they have created a warm, inviting space where innovative food and attentive service sit at the heart of everything they do.
As the business grew, the team recognised the need to strengthen their HR processes. Through three days of fully funded HR support via the UK Shared Prosperity Fund (UKSPF), delivered through Stirling Council, The Atrium Café accessed tailored guidance to help formalise policies and ensure compliance as they continued to expand.
Without an internal HR function, navigating requirements and documentation can feel daunting. STEP HR provided practical, clear support—ensuring the café had the correct processes in place and giving Csaba and Veronika confidence in how to manage staff matters going forward.
The programme provided the structure and clarity needed to embed good HR practice, supporting both day-to-day operations and future business development.
“We found the support extremely helpful and understanding. The support really has helped ensure our HR processes are in place. Thank you.”
