Female power in the catering industry: The female minds behind success!
On March 8th, International Women's Day, the discussion about equality and diversity in the world of work becomes particularly loud. Natascha Mauthner, Managing Director of Lieferando in Austria, called for more transparency and fair pay for women in an interview with LEADERSNET in order to close the gender pay gap. Mauthner, who has had an eventful career in gastronomy and sales through numerous countries, emphasizes the need to break down prejudices and make role models visible. "More efforts are urgently needed to close it. I therefore appeal to all women not to accept this gap," she explained and encouraged women to talk about salaries and not shy away from comparisons to men.
Women in the catering industry
Gastronomy in Germany is still a male-dominated industry, as an analysis by Lieferando.de makes clear. On International Women's Day, the platform presents six inspiring female restaurant owners who are successfully asserting themselves in a man's world. Katharina Hauke from Lieferando.de explains how important it is to give restaurant partners more visibility and promote their offers. One of the entrepreneurs featured is Uli from “häppies” in Berlin, who offers yeast dumplings in new dimensions with an all-female team. Their motto: “The focus is on the love for our products.” Nicole from the “Alpenkantine” in Hamburg and Hong Mai from “Comai” in Frankfurt are further examples of women who successfully run their restaurants with passion and commitment.
Through their successes, these women show that gastronomy is not just about gender roles, but rather about teamwork, motivation and commitment. Tiffany from “BurritoRico” in Cologne and Bonn emphasizes that performance and commitment are more important than traditional gender roles. With their different concepts, they prove that with heart, humor and hard work, many things are possible. Mauthner's appeal and the stories of these entrepreneurs send clear messages: more women are needed in leadership positions, and together the catering industry can be made more diverse and fair.
The ideas and experiences that both Mauthner and the successful restaurateurs share emphasize the need to promote equality in all areas - a goal that remains essential for our society. More information about such inspiring adventures can be found at LEADERSNET and Lieferando.de.
