The traffic light government's decision to increase the tax rate is a bad decision, Kamil Ivecen also criticizes. Not only for restaurateurs, but also for society.
In his wine bar in Mainz's old town, guests paid 29.90 euros for a leg of goose with dumplings, red cabbage and chestnut and orange jus in December. Unfortunately, he could not offer the lunch at a lower price, he explains.
With the rise in food prices, the ingredients alone would account for half the price. That's why he would have had to offer the goose leg for at least 38 euros from January. But who would eat goose legs for this exorbitant price?

The costs of restaurateurs have already risen significantly in recent times.

-Energy costs especially gas
-Basic foodstuffs have become significantly more expensive
-Higher minimum wage. But the employees in the catering trade deserve it, they have to work very hard for little money
-The old tax rate again

Yes and no. It always depends on the circumstances. A kebab stand near us is doing so well that there is always a queue of 5 to sometimes even 20 people. But they have 5 to 6 employees and are really fast. So he earns a fortune, and he's allowed to do so, at least the quality is good.


But he has increased the price from €3 to €5 and that's ONLY out of pure greed and not out of necessity. How much more will it cost him? Certainly never enough to justify the price. He makes at least 1 to 2 million euros a year with this small stand, and that's before the price increase.
I no longer buy anything there on principle, simply because I feel like I'm being taken for a ride and it's precisely entrepreneurs like that who are partly to blame for fueling inflation even further.

If he had left his prices unchanged or only increased them slightly, he would probably have a lot more customers now anyway and would therefore also increase his profits.

Another example is a sausage stand that has raised its price from €2.80 to €5.80. A complete fantasy price. And also completely stupid, because it will certainly cost him some customers.
