Will the price of lángos at Lake Balaton increase?

According to Kovács, caterers are very cautious about raising prices. The goal is to maintain the loyalty of regular guests and to make the offer attractive to new guests as well. That is why they only dare to accept half of the justified price increase, i.e. 8-10 percent. The president explained that the price sensitivity of the guests is also greater, many spend more carefully and consciously, they often choose less expensive meals or do not eat every single course.

Many people use the price of lángos as a measure of the price increase at Lake Balaton. László Kovács said that although the price of the flame may seem high, the cost of the ingredients is similar to that of pizza, but the price of pizza is less surprising among consumers. The president emphasized that the high price of the flame is not due to the raw materials, but to the wages of the master bakers who work in harsh working conditions, who work all day at 40-45 degrees in oil steam.

László Kovács also reported on the labor market situation of the hospitality industry. According to him, although there used to be a serious labor shortage, today this situation has improved, especially the lack of skilled labor is still felt. Workers previously lured away by construction and trade are now returning, and the presence of foreign workers is also helping to stabilize the labor market.
