Innsbruck in turmoil: Hard Rock Café bankrupt with 2.1 million euros!

Innsbruck, Österreich - On April 18, 2025, a renovation procedure with self -administration was opened at the Innsbruck regional court for "HRC IBK Betrieb GmbH", the operating company of the Hard Rock Cafes Innsbruck. According to the information of 5 minutes, the company's debt is around 2.1 million euros, while the assets only make up 166,000 euros. This means that the creditors could receive a fictional quota of around 7.87 percent.

A total of 39 employees and around 40 creditors are affected by bankruptcy. The GmbH had operated the restaurant as a franchisee at Hard Rock Holding Limited since 2017. The causes of bankruptcy are complex: In addition to the aftermath of the COVID-19 pandemic and a general decline in consumer behavior, the severely increased personnel and energy costs have recently been particularly important.

The renovation plans

The creditors were presented with a renovation plan that provides that they can receive 30 percent of their claims within two years after the plan has been confirmed. The success of this procedure and the actual implementation of the plan will be assessed in the coming weeks. The situation is tense for everyone involved and requires careful analysis of the possibilities.

The current developments also take a look at the general situation of companies in Austria.
