The data from 2023 shows France as the highest spender on wages and salaries in the restaurant and mobile food service sector, followed by the UK and Germany. Italy and Spain also feature prominently. Notably, the Czech Republic, Romania, and Lithuania recorded significant year-on-year growth, while Sweden and Iceland experienced declines. Over the past five years, expect an average increase (CAGR) in wages, with Eastern European countries reflecting accelerated growth compared to Western Europe, which remains relatively stable.
Future trends to watch include sustained wage growth in Eastern Europe, driven by economic development, which may shift market dynamics. Additionally, inflationary pressures and labor shortages in Western Europe could propel wage increases, influencing overall competitiveness and service pricing.
