The Harsh Reality of HoReCa: 60% Won't Survive? Average Bankruptcy Rates (may vary depending on years or markets): - 18% General Market - 60% HoReCa (restaurants, bars, cafes) One of the critical reasons behind the high failure rate in the HoReCa sector is the challenge of profit calculation, impacted by: 1. Lack of accurate data on a daily basis (what was sold vs. what was bought) 2. Fluctuating food prices, seasonal variations, and unpredictable customer demand 3. Menu engineering process vs actual pricing and F&B cost level 4. Food and Beverage tracking in the context of waste level (over-ordering and over-stocking, over-dosing, spoilage) 5. Discounts and Promotions implications How are you addressing this Profit Puzzle in your restaurant, cafe, bar? Join the conversation and share your thoughts, especially from the owner or manager perspective. Your insights can help us all understand HoReCa - the industry we eat with, meet and celebrate. ____________________ #HospitalityTech #RestaurantTech #FoodTech #Innovation #Startups #HoReCa
