Culinary protest in Waiblingen: unit prices despite control pressure!

Culinary protest in Waiblingen: unit prices despite control pressure!

In the tavern on the Alten Postplatz in Waiblingen, confident atmosphere returns again. Matthias Hönes, the landlord, has the goal of continuing to strengthen the community spirit with his action, all dishes for the unit price of 6.90 euros. In the coming weeks until December 1st, there will be the opportunity to dine heartily and do good at the same time by also making a voluntary donation for local initiatives.

But the way there was not easy. A few weeks ago, Hönes Post received from the tax office, which for the 42,000 euros in donations generated in the first round of donations to the gastronomic sales called for a VAT of 19 %. These taxes were levied for the funds that were donated for charitable purposes, including the Pusteblume children's hospice, the Waiblingen table shop and the stray friends Lugoj Romania. The situation put the host under pressure, but it did not be put off and expressed himself optimistically with the words: "Now more so."

The idea behind the action

The intention behind this initiative is not only the promotion of the gastronomic community, but also to help local associations and institutions that rely on financial support. Hönes sees his responsibility as a landlord in returning something to society and inspiring others to participate. Due to the low pricing of 6.90 euros, the food becomes accessible to many people while they can do something good at the same time.

The first round was a great success and the gained funds provided noticeable support in the recipient facilities. Some of the donations went directly to projects that help those in the region. With his current action, Hönes wants to build on this success and thus shows that even in difficult circumstances time remains for solidarity and community.

Although the tax challenges are pressing on his efforts, Hönes remains confident. He hopes that this time the Waiblinger will keep together and appear numerous in order not only to enjoy the delicious dishes, but also make a contribution to the support of important social projects.

For Hönes, there are also talks with the tax office in order to find a solution to the tax concerns mentioned. He is optimistic that you will find a way together that enables him to continue his initiative without having to wear the financial burden on his back.

at a time when many restaurateurs fight with challenges, Hönes' commitment is a bright spot. His campaign not only makes the tavern a meeting point of the community, but also a place where help and solidarity are in the foreground. This shows how local initiatives can experience appreciation and make positive changes. Such actions ask people to network and become active, which is particularly important today.
