He entered the Linz restaurant scene in spring 2023 with trumpets, trumpets and ambitious plans, only to leave it just one and a half years later in a press statement. Nevertheless, he doesn't consider himself a failure, as the neo-"ex" restaurateur Philipp Kaufmann revealed in an interview with the Krone.

"What good is a hip ski-ski club if the service isn't right or the food doesn't taste good?" said entrepreneur Philipp Kaufmann in an in-depth interview with the "Krone" in spring 2023, when he was the "man of the hour" and wanted to take the time-honored Lindbauer under his wing alongside the Oberwirt, and spoke of up to ten other inns and cafés that he wanted to take over. 
At the time, his approach gave many Linzers hope, he revealed: "Fresh, sustainable ingredients from regional suppliers should end up on our guests' plates through us. Our establishments should also embody 'third places'. Living spaces, away from the hustle and bustle of everyday life, where you temporarily feel at home."
