Restaurant Vapiano in Berlin: Prices explode-customers in shock!

The situation in the gastronomy of Berlin remains tense, especially for the Vapiano restaurant chain. As berlin-live.de , the chain has lifted its prices drastically. While a portion of Bolognese or Carbonara still cost 7.90 euros in 2017, the price is now 14.95 euros. For a side salad, guests must now pay 3.95 euros instead of the former 2.50 euros. These price increases are particularly shocking for guests who react to the high cost and share their experiences on social media.

The increase in prices is a direct reaction to the increased costs through inflation, rents and energy. In addition, a large part of the staff left the industry during the pandemic and does not return. This lack of staff increases the challenge for ailing companies, which now affects the guests' wallet. Critical voices on the Internet accuse Vapiano that the quality of the food does not justify the high prices and instead recommend traditional Italian restaurants that are comparatively cheaper.

The variety of available gastronomy in Berlin reflects the different tastes and budgets, while the competitive pressure is growing in the industry.
