Full Credential Description
Urszula, Andrzej, and ?ukasz Kusion, who have been managing the PTTK Murowaniec U A Kusion Hostel in Zakopane since 1991, faced significant operational challenges due to the high volume of visitors, especially during the summer peak season when they can host up to 1,000 guests per day. This influx not only increased the demand for services but also created logistical issues, particularly in terms of managing the extensive washing up required for the hostel's dining services.
To address these challenges, the Kusions secured a loan of EUR 21,000 from the financial intermediary Pekao, which they utilized to purchase a new industrial dishwasher. This investment significantly improved their operational efficiency, allowing them to better manage the high turnover of dishes and enhance the overall guest experience. Following the success of this initial loan, they are considering applying for additional financing to acquire new equipment, specifically to improve their electricity supply, which is crucial given their remote mountain location. This proactive approach to financing and operational improvement highlights their commitment to maintaining high service standards in a challenging environment.
