Massive ecological damage caused by invasive species
30.5.2025

Climate change is causing enormous costs; combating alien animals and plants is also becoming an ever-increasing cost factor for governments. Combating them is necessary: alien species jeopardise biodiversity. 

Climate change: young people want to be part of the solution
23.5.2025

16.5.2025

The Price needs context

The Price needs context

Many restaurant guests are currently price sensitive. Equally many want to treat themselves consciously and are willing to pay a good price for good performance. How to best address both groups and optimize your pricing is, last but not least, a question of psychology. Tim Plasse, Managing Director at F&B Heroes, explains what the hospitality industry can learn from e-commerce.

2025: MICE saves, business travel continues to travel

2025: MICE saves, business travel continues to travel

Frankfurt is looking for restaurateurs for "nice toilets"

We've all been there: you're out and about in the city and need to go to the loo. But there's no toilet in sight - at least not a well-maintained one. To change this, the city of Frankfurt is now looking for gastronomers who offer their toilets to people free of charge.

What China's robots can already do today

China has been pumping a lot of money into the development of robots for some time now. They are supposed to help out more and more in everyday life. What does this mean for the people who work there?

Restaurateurs ban laptops at the table

The road to get there was fraught with obstacles, but the vibes for something new are pulsating. Focusing on Europe was simply "hot", perfectly in tune with the zeitgeist. Have you registered yet?
