Full power of EuroGastro possibilities

What makes EuroGastro considered the most attractive, substantive and best presented business event in the industry? First of all, a wide spectrum of presented possibilities – both professional and entertainment.

As a business event, EuroGastro guaranteed visitors the most attractive and durable solutions dedicated to the industry. The participants could see a wide range of offers from respected suppliers: kitchen equipment, equipment used in baking, confectionery and ice-cream, products from producers and distributors of food, beverages, coffee and alcohol, as well as a full range of hotel, restaurant and bar equipment. The event not only gave the opportunity to establish cooperation with new entities, but also to do so on preferential terms, gaining attractive discounts.

The most interesting solutions, industry innovations. Welcome to EuroGastro

The most interesting solutions, industry innovations. Welcome to EuroGastro

The most current topics, the search for solutions to mounting challenges and networking integrating the industry - all this will be available during the 26th edition of EuroGastro, an international fair of solutions for the HoReCa industry. They will take place on March 28-30, 2023 at Ptak Warsaw Expo.

The Polish catering industry has faced many challenges in recent years. The pandemic, Russia’s attack on Ukraine, followed by galloping inflation and rising costs of doing business were key tests of business sustainability for many. Therefore, this service sector needed a platform for dialogue between entrepreneurs who have questions and experts who know the answers to them. It became EuroGastro, the most famous event dedicated to the gastronomy and HoReCa industry in Europe. Its 26th edition will take place on March 28-30 at Ptak Warsaw Expo.

EuroGastro - a place where the industry meets

EuroGastro is an event strongly defined for networking, building business relationships and exchanging useful information between potential partners. It is a platform that allows you to get acquainted with industry novelties that are revolutionizing international markets, but also gives the opportunity to implement these solutions in individual enterprises. The final effect is to increase competitiveness, expand the network of mutual dependencies, expand the business base and thus increase the “security” of business.

In addition, EuroGastro is an international event, attracting foreign audiences and visitors from all over the world. This is its undoubted advantage, because it allows you to open your own business to yet inaccessible contractors and expand export to countries that have so far been beyond the reach of the company.

The event also provides an opportunity to get acquainted with the widest industry offer on the market, accelerate business negotiations thanks to the presence of decision-makers and competition analysis, which will present its capabilities at this international fair.

Forum Polskiej Gastronomii

EuroGastro also gives a unique opportunity to participate in an event that not only interferes with the gastronomy and HoReCa industry, but above all gives answers to the most bothering questions of its representatives. Forum Polskiej Gastronomii is an accompanying event organized thanks to the cooperation of Ptak Warsaw Expo with the Chefs Club, the Polish Association of Chefs and Confectioners, the Chamber of Commerce of Polish Gastronomy and Euro-Toques.

What will happen during the Forum Polskiej Gastronomii? Among other things, substantive workshops that will introduce a new dimension of cooking. There will be shows of masters of the culinary arts and additional competitions with prizes. The educational side will be taken care of by experts operating in the industry, who will indicate the best practices that can be implemented in business, sensitize to what to watch out for when setting up a catering business and how to make the business more “resistant” to the crisis. In addition, participants will be able to take advantage of an in-depth analysis of trends on the global market and knowledge about what the domestic industry needs to take the next step forward.

EuroGastro numbers and stars

The estimated participation in the three days of EuroGastro in the 2023 edition is about 49,000 participants. About two hundred exhibitors will present their offers in the field of bakery, confectionery, coffee, drink&bar, food and beverages, hotel, restaurant and bar equipment, and kitchen facilities on 25,000 m2 of exhibition space.

During the event there will also be stars who will show their craftsmanship and share their experience. Among them will be Nicholas Allen, a former chef in restaurants with Michelin stars. Currently working at the Da Vinci restaurant, he specializes in English, French, Arabic, Asian cuisine, exquisite continental cuisine and molecular cuisine.

The group of invited culinary experts will also include Waldemar Hołówka, Janusz Gancarczyk, Kamil Klekowski, Marek Rybacki, Michał Wawro, Bartek Peter, Jarosław Uściski, Marcin Bielec, Jacek Walczyk, Katarzyna Bosacka, Marek Namysłowski, Radek Kłapacz, Marcin Sobol, Iwona Niemczewska and Krzysztof Malinowski.

Trends in Gastronomy for 2023

Trends in Gastronomy for 2023

The American gastronomy market has seen an increase in sales, largely due to price rises. QSR Magazine notes that the accessible luxury offered by restaurants remains unchanged. The gastronomy market in Poland is still in the rebuilding phase after the pandemic, but the industry has already “caught up” and is introducing new solutions to optimize restaurant operations. In 2023, restaurateurs can expect to see the continuation of trends related to process optimization and innovation that will give customers the feeling of well-invested money and relaxation. Of note are gastronomy trends related to green kitchens, based on local and ecological ingredients, as well as food delivery and remote ordering solutions.

Comfort foods

In the upcoming year, the trend in gastronomy will be to explore new flavors and forms of serving dishes, such as comfort foods. One example is the growing popularity of chicken sandwiches, which will offer even more flavors, textures, and ingredients. Another trend is the increasing popularity of healthier alternatives to fast food, such as wraps and Spanish tapas, which will be available to take away.

Ghost kitchens

In 2023, it is predicted that more and more restaurants will invest in so-called “ghost kitchens”, i.e. kitchens that are only used to prepare online orders. Virtual restaurants allow for reduct costs, such as rent, equipment, and staffing.

Dual branding

Another interesting trend in gastronomy is the combination of two different brands in one location. Dual branding involves having two different gastronomic concepts operating in one restaurant, which allows for an expanded offering and increased attractiveness to different customer groups. Polish startup Rebel Tang takes it a step further, offering ready-made casual dining brands that can be used by other entrepreneurs in their establishments.

Applications

Applications are becoming increasingly important in the gastronomy industry, so many restaurants opt for their use. Table reservation applications allow for easier resource management and increased reservation rates. Shopping apps allow for food ordering at lower prices and also increase the efficiency of staff hiring. With apps, restaurants can also promote themselves and receive feedback from customers. It is important to remember to provide a high-quality wifi network in the restaurant, including in the garden, to allow customers to use the apps.

Return to Classics

We increasingly see a return to classic flavors and dishes prepared according to traditional recipes, but this is no longer only a manifestation of traditionalism. People are experimenting with these flavors, preparing them in different ways, even outside of holiday periods. According to research conducted by WGSN, as many as 46% of Poles admit to consuming traditional dishes not only during holidays but also on ordinary days.

Vegetarian dishes

More and more Poles are becoming interested in plant-based cuisine and are opting for vegetarian and vegan dishes. According to the survey, already 31% of Poles regularly eat meatless dishes, and 17% of all restaurant orders are vegetarian and vegan dishes. Among the most popular dishes of this type are margherita pizza, vegetarian sushi and Greek salad. Interestingly, carnivores are also increasingly turning to these types of dishes.
