It is not for nothing that the restaurant association DEHOGA recorded a total of almost 158,000 companies in the restaurant industry for 2020, not including overnight accommodation such as hotels or guesthouses. In Germany, for example, there is one company from the Gastro & Event sector for every 518 inhabitants.

Even if the catering industry is very popular as a business, it is by no means easy, especially since the legal framework is associated with more and more regulations, such as the obligation to provide a receipt or the obligation to use a cash register.

Delivery notes, invoices, contracts, offers and other things literally flutter into the house, simply because in the catering industry personal contact with the restaurateur is more important for suppliers and representatives than in any other industry. Delivery notes and the like can be brought with you right away. But what is the easiest way to create order and keep an overview? PaperOffice DMS is the answer to this question.
