Auftraggeber

Kooperationspartner Denkfabrik Zukunft der Gastwelt, powered by Union der Wirtschaft e.V.

Against the backdrop of demographic developments and social change, the aim is to raise awareness among politicians and the media of the economic and social importance of communal catering and the out-of-home market. The aim of this study is to shed light on the central role of these sectors using current figures and data. While the previous study focused on out-of-home catering in general and individual catering in particular, this study focuses on communal catering. The importance of communal catering in the post-corona period and its contribution to the daily supply of food in Germany will be highlighted.
