Big crowds at the Graz fair: The mood in the catering industry was already better, but at the “Rolling Pin Convention” people are trying to outline common visions of an industry fit for the future. Where are local landlords suffering? And what needs to change so that eating out remains affordable?
Rising purchasing costs, shrinking staff and fewer customers willing to pay. Yesterday, Sepp Schellhorn, restaurateur and Neos MP, highlighted in the “Krone” how innkeepers are also suffering from the revival of delivery services. Against this background, Graz is currently becoming the center for Austrian restaurateurs for the tenth time: 8,000 guests are expected at the “Rolling Pin Convention” on 6,000 square meters – all of whom work in the industry themselves. On stage are gastro-celebrities such as the Styrian star chef Richard Rauch, who says: “Especially at lunch it becomes a challenge to get the guest into the restaurant.”
