Emanuel Boeminghaus warned that German gastronomy is under pressure. In his current YouTube interview, he wrote that critical comments from guests have accumulated. One viewer reported spending 15 euros for a pizza, 4.50 euros for a wheat beer, and 1.50 euros in tips – a total of 21 euros. Another criticized a bottle of wine for 30 euros that costs only 10 euros online. Unattentive service and long waiting times were also mentioned as complaints. According to Boeminghaus, the commentators did not see the responsibility lying solely with politics. They also criticized a lack of hospitality, poor value for money, and missing quality. A woman from Berlin reported significantly better experiences in Polish restaurants. At the same time, high personnel, energy, and operating costs burden many businesses, he wrote. Boeminghaus described a conflict between the need for higher revenues in gastronomy businesses and guests who could or wanted to afford restaurant visits increasingly less often. He warned that if long-time restaurant guests preferred to stay at home, more than just the next revenue was at stake for traditional German gastronomy. https://t.co/YapCnYou6I #Gastronomie #Deutschland #Restaurants (translated)

Emanuel Boeminghaus warned that German gastronomy is in decline and with it, a part of German culture is being lost. Since 2019, sales nationwide have fallen by 21 percent, in Berlin even by 28 percent. McDonald's and other large chains, on the other hand, have increased by more than 13 percent. Traditional gastronomy is increasingly under pressure, while large chains are expanding; an end to this development is not in sight, Boeminghaus wrote. He spoke about this with Metin, who has worked in Berlin's gastronomy for over 40 years and is experiencing the decline firsthand. Boeminghaus referred to a new video about it on YouTube. https://t.co/HY8a92MKfh #Gastronomie #Kultur #Berlin (translated)

Petr Němec criticized the marketing of the Pirate Party and called for the dismissal of its authors as well as for their physical assault. He reacted to the labeling of a cake as "overpriced" at a price of 100 CZK and asked whether, according to critics, it should cost 50 CZK, be made from low-quality ingredients, and be served by staff earning minimum wage. Němec stated that such criticism insults entrepreneurs in the gastronomy sector and people who want to run establishments with quality cakes and a pleasant atmosphere. He added that he does not know who came up with such a message and linked it to a leftist group that he claimed should have left the Pirate Party. #marketing #gastronomie #podnikání (translated)

Emanuel Boeminghaus wrote that the porcelain manufacturer Kahla would cease production after 182 years, and 98 employees would lose their jobs. The company, founded in 1844, filed for insolvency again in February 2026; talks with two Turkish investors had been unsuccessful. According to Boeminghaus, production should continue until the end of October, decoration until the end of 2026, and sales are expected to continue until March. Insolvency administrator Rolf Rombach cited particularly high energy costs as reasons for the closure. In addition, a weaker order situation and fewer orders from the gastronomy sector had burdened the company. Boeminghaus pointed out that the Kahla brand had been awarded more than 100 international design prizes. He cited BILD as the source. https://t.co/uK5lKkBzOV #Kahla #Industrie #Arbeitsplätze (translated)
