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)
