In 1980 Schuhbeck took over the Kurhausstüberl in Waging . Soon he became the driving force in the company and won over the guests with his culinary art. The "Kurhausstüberl" became an insider tip for Munich and Salzburg celebrities and advanced from a village inn to a top restaurant. Schuhbeck earned the reputation of a "celebrity chef", where politicians, TV stars and executives went in and out.

He has been running a party service since 1990 , with which he supplied high-class events such as the Federal Chancellor Festival, the Sports Ball and the Echo Award Ceremony.

At the end of the 1990s he founded the gastronomic company Schuhbecks am Platzl GmbH . These now include the Orlando Restaurant , a wine bistro, a party service, a cooking school, a spice shop, a tea shop, a chocolate shop and an ice cream parlor . With the exception of the party service in Riem , all facilities are located in downtown Munich on Platzl . At the beginning of 2002 he closed the Kurhausstüberl in Waging.

Another company was Schuhbeck's Check Inn GmbH (founded in 2001) with the Schuhbeck's Check Inn restaurant at Egelsbach Airport near Frankfurt am Main and Schuhbeck's Check Inn at Bachgrund Estate in Büttelborn-Worfelden. The last-mentioned location was closed again in February 2012 after almost a year of operation. Shortly afterwards, after Schuhbeck left management, Schuhbeck's Check Inn GmbH filed for bankruptcy on March 21, 2012.

At the end of 2006 he opened “Schuhbeck's Schmankerl Shop” on Munich's Marienplatz with Galeria Kaufhof in Kaufinger-Tor-Passage. This facility offers Schuhbeck's spices, ice cream, wines, mustards, gift baskets and more. In 2007/2008 he designed the menu for the entrepreneur Jürgen Drexler in the “Blue Star Train”, a former Trans-Europ-Express train .

At the end of 2016, he opened Schuhbeck's fine dining in Boettner's former traditional Boettner restaurant . The restaurant should be the luxury label among the Schuhbeck restaurants; In 2018, the restaurant was awarded a Michelin star under head chef Maurice Kriegs . Schuhbeck closed the restaurant in early 2020.
