    "There is a strong demand from restaurateurs for suitable financial services"

    The unexpected tax back payment, the pre-financing of an event or the broken coffee machine: there are many reasons why restaurateurs may lack liquidity for a short time. One possibility to quickly and easily bridge a sudden financial bottleneck is GastroFinanz. I spoke with Michael Zyber, responsible for GastroFinanz at METRO AG, about the new service offered by METRO. Learn more on www.metro.de/gastro-finanz #loveownbusiness #METROheroes

    "No one wants to give up" / "Aufgeben will keiner"

    For once, this episode of MORE Podcast is in German: The time has come: restaurants, pubs and beer gardens can finally welcome guests again after the Corona-related lockdown. But after the long-awaited restart of the gastronomy sector in Germany, the industry is only slowly regaining momentum. In our latest episode of the MORE Podcast, we talk to two of METRO Germany's gastronomy consultants, Götz Braake and Karl Romboy, about how restaurateurs experienced and survived the weeks-long closure of their establishments. ________________________________ Es ist soweit: Restaurants, Gaststätten und Biergärten können nach dem Corona-bedingten Lockdown endlich wieder Gäste begrüßen. Doch nach dem lang ersehnten Neustart der Gastronomie in Deutschland kommt die Branche nur langsam wieder in Schwung. Wie die Gastronomen die wochenlange Schließung ihrer Lokale erlebt und überlebt haben, darüber sprechen wir in unserer aktuellen Folge des MORE Podcast mit zwei der Gastro-Berater von METRO Deutschland, Götz Braake und Karl Romboy. #METROheroes #loveownbusiness

    "This crisis can strengthen the relationship to our customers"

    In France, as in many other European countries, the first loosenings of the lockdown are expected soon. The country was and is one of those most affected by the corona virus.

    "We want a responsible new start for the restaurant industry"

    METRO, together with numerous prominent chefs and restaurant owners as well as other companies, addressed the German Chancellor with an urgent appeal for a careful restart for the hospitality industry. Together, they are calling for concrete support measures to sustainably protect the diversity and quality of the gastronomy sector. Under the hashtag #restartGastro, the alliance has launched an online petition on this subject. In our current issue of MORE Podcast we talk to Ivonne Bollow, Global Director Corporate Public Policy, about the goals of the initiative and how each of us can support it. #METROheroes #loveownbusiness #restartGastro

    „With M|SHOP we enable more customers to buy online”

    The Corona crisis is changing the usual procedures and work processes at METRO. Now more than ever, maximum flexibility and creative solutions are required. The interaction between METRONOM and MAKRO Poland shows us how this works at its best. In order to be able to offer SCO customers there online ordering and delivery, it was necessary to quickly adapt the ordering solution M|SHOP. Nils Wolfram, who is responsible for M|Shop at METRONOM, tells us how the immediate support was provided. #METROheroes #loveownbusiness

    "Now we have a great opportunity to build trust"

    Stay at home! That is the order of the day. However, the far-reaching restrictions for the public due to the global corona crisis pose enormous challenges for numerous sectors of the economy.  Especially the hospitality industry suffers from the absence of guests, reduced opening hours or even closures. How our hospitality customers are dealing with the consequences of Corona on their business is the subject of our special MORE Podcast in the coming weeks. In the first episode we talk to Ole Grünert, Head of Customer Response at Hospitality Digital, about the situation of the restaurateurs in Germany. #METROheroes
