Changes in the catering industry

While the cultural scene is flourishing, there is not only positive news from the gastronomy sector. The restaurantThere Pippoam Tankumsee will close its doors at the end of the year and will only be available for events. Owner Giuseppe Marino plans to focus his attention on the trattoria in Gifhorn. A study by IFH COLOGNE shows that gastronomy is a fundamental factor in the revitalization of German city centers. Around 60% of the restaurateurs surveyed rate the current situation as tense and see, among other things, the shortage of skilled workers as a major problem.

In the Meinersen community, however, there is a ray of hope: TheCoolCooking test phasein the secondary school is intended to improve the quality of the cafeteria food. In the future, devices that both cool and heat food will ensure tasty food that is ready to be served on time. If the test phase is successful, the system could be introduced across the board and have a positive impact on meals in schools and daycare centers.

Things remain exciting in the Gifhorn region: the future of the district is being shaped vividly with new transport projects, a cultural highlight such as the Aller Festival and committed initiatives to improve gastronomy.
