In 2013, leisure consultants at Deloitte found that this age group boosted their eating and drinking out to an average of 32 times per month, up from 25 times a year ago (Thompson).

2014

In 2014, Vapiano altered its strategy and in smaller cities built new corporate-owned restaurants not run as franchise operations.

2015

In mid-2015, Gregor Gerlach announced that he was moving from Chairman onto the Supervisory Board, in order to devote more efforts to other ventures.
