Vapiano

Shorter waiting times, more cooking stations and a new payment system. Vapiano expands its concept. Latest coup: pizza and pasta for the home.

The principle of Vapiano is simple. The guest will be served, ordered and served pizza or pasta within a few minutes - prepared only for him and in front of his eyes. Sounds like a sophisticated concept - in theory. Not infrequently, the minute-long, almost hours-long waiting periods drive you crazy ...

And not only us. Even Vapiano boss Gregor Gerlach knows about the long waiting times. One wants to shorten this, so the Italo boss opposite the Wirtschaftswoche. As the? In new restaurants more cooking stations are to be installed and an ordering function for drinks and snacks introduced. "(...) our regulars do not find snakes eating before dinner, but it annoys them to hire if they want a drink."

Next Coup: Pay via mobile. From May you can pay for pizza and pasta by app - first of all only in a newly opened restaurant in Fürth.

Vapiano for the home

Do not feel like canteen flair? In the future, Vapiano should also be at home. "We will offer a raw pizza, which we freshly fill and which the customers take home for baking, " says Gerlach. "The pizza is available in an integrated shop where we also sell fresh pasta and wine."
