Is there a risk? Authorities control Gütersloher Gastro scene!

in Gütersloh took place on Friday evening, October 11th, comprehensive controls in the city center and in Isselhorst. These cooperative measures were carried out jointly by the Gütersloh police, the main customs office in Bielefeld and the regulatory office in Gütersloh. The control time extended from 7:00 p.m. to 00:30 and was aimed at local snacks, kiosks and restaurants. These regular checks have an effect: In many of the repeated controlled companies, the number of complaints was remarkably low.

Especially in Isselhorst, two gastronomic companies came into the visor of the officials. In a restaurant you found an employee who was in Germany without the necessary permission. The main tariff then raised a security deposit and an administrative offense procedure was initiated against the employer. However, the owner of the second company behaved uncooperatively. In his company, for example, an emergency exit was blocked, which in combination with other fire protection defects led to complaints. In addition, the investigators discovered discrepancies in the bookings in the cash register system, which led to the initiation of a special sales tax examination.

As part of these controls, seven other snacks and kiosks were also checked in the urban area. An operator faced an administrative offense procedure because the software of a slot machine did not meet the legal requirements in his restaurant. Another kiosk operator had non-approved e-cigarettes and CBD products in its range. These products have been ensured and further legal steps take place here. Such cooperative controls ensure that the legal requirements in the catering sector are observed and contribute to identifying and removing grievances.

The authorities emphasize that these joint controls are regularly carried out at irregular intervals in order to continue to comply with the regulations in the future. Such measures are important in order not only to ensure the security of the citizens, but also to protect the honest trade.
