Findings from a round of talks the gastro-award Germany AG with restaurateurs and hoteliers who decides today to lead an dining establishment or a hotel, should consider in advance not only in the position of the passionate host. People such as Bobby Green would likely agree. So the knowledge of those who are active in this field for years. Two hoteliers, a pub owner and two restaurant chefs just recently met in a round with the gastro-award Germany AG. And what passed to as the beginning of a joke sounds, sounds anything but really funny. Beforehand nevertheless: master Cheers to those who can hold up their passion as host always daily and doing their job the best. The circumstances in the catering market have become namely hard.

You better calculate their advantage. “Such as what a value added tax relief tax losses may occur: Peer Steinbruck is expecting and communicates despite EU recommendation required 7% its dramatic failure” from rd. 3.6 billion euros of tax money.

Because even smokers have friends who wear it with equal sentiment and reason (approx. 50%), if there’s a freedom of choice in the restaurant under the non-smokers. According to the The countries are Federal Court judgment late August 2008 (=> extremely farsighted). And hope is spreading. Restaurateurs who had to suffer so far up to 60% turnover, are the squabbling smoking/non-smoking”tired. Most countries have noticed it and signal a solution with freedom of choice and even more relief. So even he announced new designated Prime Minister of Bavaria, Horst Seehofer, a relaxation for Bavaria. There is obviously still a healthy mind. As the tenor of our round, showed yet philosophical farewell and her glass on the categorical imperative”(Immanuel Kant) rose: may the General reason prevail, including the understanding that a schnitzel with French fries can cost 5 euros today and tomorrow.
