Marketing - Tourism & Travel / Luxury Hotel | | German term or phrase: Patron | Wer gern regionale Kulinarik genießt, der findet in der gemütlichen "XX XXX XXX" mit original blauweißen Kacheln und antiken Möbeln das richtige Ambiente und die passende Speisekarte -- für die natürlich auch der sympathische Patron verantwortlich zeichnet.
I know the traditional meaning of the word Patron, but I can't seem to make sense of the last part of this sentence. To what does the Patron refer to??? I thought it could be the gourmet chef that is mentioned in the previous sentences, that he also created the menu in this restaurant, but then the meaning of the word patron doesn't fit! Any help is appreciated! |

This term was used when I worked in the hotel industry in Switzerland when referring to the boss of the establishment.
