Fight for survival: Neubrandenburg gastronomy in crisis
The catering sector is facing challenges, and Maher Khemir, managing director of the Neubrandenburg restaurant Oliva, reports on the difficulties that have been increasing since the corona pandemic. Despite high occupancy and satisfied guests, Khemir has noticed a significant decline in applications, which worries him. “Before, all I needed was a sign outside and the applicants would come by themselves,” he remembers. Today he only receives two to three applications a year and expresses the feeling that he has lost fun in his work. The antiquity and charm of his restaurant, which mainly employs Tunisian people, provide a little light into the dark times of gastronomy, as German applicants are hard to find anymore uckermarkkurier.de reported.
A call for support for the catering industry
The loss of motivation has led Khemir to consider partially selling his restaurant. “I would rather close down than endure this situation any further,” he explains. This could be seen as a warning signal for the entire catering industry in Neubrandenburg, which is suffering from a lack of staff. Khemir's experience is also reflected in the general attitude of young people today, who are more interested in quick money than the joy of work. In his opinion, closer cooperation with the city of Neubrandenburg could be crucial in order to support the catering industry and make it more attractive.
