Mission: better staff & guest experiences
The approach

Success has a very simple formula.

The best guest experiences don't happen by accident. They're built on two pillars — and I help you strengthen both.

Operations

Streamlined processes, clear SOPs, and interconnected departments that run smoothly — every shift, every season.

Human Resources

Well-trained, motivated staff who understand your vision and deliver it consistently — from frontline teams to managers.

Guest Experience

The result: memorable moments guests talk about, return for, and recommend. The true measure of a great attraction.

Current focus

Guests notice when
your team isn't
fully present.

Staff with guest contact are your strongest communication channel — and your biggest risk. A single unresolved problem, a dismissive reaction, or a missing smile can tip the entire experience.

My training for empathy and solution orientation helps your frontline teams see guest problems not as a disruption — but as an opportunity to save someone's day.

  • Perspective shift: understanding guest problems from the visitor's point of view
  • Conversation skills for difficult situations
  • Solution strategies that can be applied immediately
  • Format: half-day, full-day, or workshop series

About Stefan Burian

Operations expertise, built in the field.

With years of hands-on experience across operations, guest experience and HR in the leisure industry, I've seen first-hand that the best attractions succeed not just because of their rides or theming — but because of how well they're run.

Since founding Amusement Business Support in 2019, I've worked with parks and attractions of all sizes — from boutique family experiences to large-scale operators across Europe.

My goal is simple: to give you the systems, documentation and people strategy that turn a good attraction into a great one. No buzzwords. No generic reports. Just clear recommendations your team can implement.
