Catering services emerged in Romania in the early 1990s after the fall of communism, bringing new concepts from Western Europe to the local market. In the beginning, there were only a few catering firms that struggled to explain unfamiliar practices to customers. However, the catering market grew substantially in the late 1990s when meal tickets were introduced, leading to an explosion in specialized catering companies. Today, catering provides services across several niches like industrial, airline, and event catering. Event catering has become the most successful area, growing with the economy as companies increasingly outsource organizing and catering services for receptions, parties, product launches, and other events.

catering was inspired exterior
practices tailored to the local market.
Knowing first slow progress in recent
years the phenomenon has gained
momentum today trying to align with
European standards.
The early 90s brought a democracy
Romania at the beginning of a lot of
business and new ideas, most of them
coming from developed countries in
Europe. Among them there was a
relatively new concept, that of
catering, which involves the provision
of meals in different locations.

3. After 1992 and firms that had emerged but strictly this specific
fewer in number in the first moments. Also, restaurants
newcomers took over and they were developing models across
borders and special departments for these services. The fact that
the Romans did not know these practices raised some issues
"Then, at the beginning, customers were few and had to wait to
explain what a reception, and what an event it was not easy
because people were taught not to like this activity, "explains
Yulia Multescu, catering manager Gusto.

4. But late '90s brought a big change in this market after the introduction of meal tickets. This led to
a huge explosion of caterers. Initially, these vouchers were designed to give the employee a hot
meal at noon, at the office, which was mass catering provided by specialized companies that
received from the employer, the services offered, these vouchers.
But after a while, they have lost the purpose for which they were made for trade unions insisted

be served is industrial catering, which
involves delivering gourmet products

large construction sites etc.
Here the number of people served can
be up to five or six thousand. Recently
however, it is a clear trend of these
customers to open their own canteens,
administering leaving them alone or a
caterer to do, pretty much reducing
costs.
Then comes the air catering, which is
meant to provide food for passengers
traveling by plane. Here, major airlines
outsource gave up and started to open
their own departments dealing with this
issue.

6. The big step in catering
As the magnitude and number of people to be served, event catering ranks
the next. This area is known that the most successful in Romania, growing
along with the economy, because customers are large and small
companies.
This type of catering has ceased to be confined while on site to transport
food. Events such as receptions, cocktail parties, company parties,
product launches, openings and branch offices, fashion shows etc., become
an impressive deployment of forces, catering companies are increasingly
occupying any aspect. They engage in organizing, starting with finding
and arranging space, personnel, logistics needed to serve food in excellent
conditions, sometimes even going to the publicity surrounding the event
and coordination "artistic program": DJ, band, orchestra, band theater
or ballet etc.

to stand out if it rains or is too cald. may not be the most suitable a
