The European wages and salaries in event catering and other food service activities show Germany, the United Kingdom, and France as leading contributors, constituting the majority share. While Germany and Spain exhibited the highest growth of over 5% in 2023, Poland and Lithuania outperformed others in recent years, demonstrating remarkable growth over 11% and 13% respectively. Conversely, countries like Cyprus faced a decline. Noteworthy growth was observed in Eastern European countries like Latvia, Bulgaria, and Serbia.
Future trends to watch include continued growth potential in Eastern Europe, driven by economic development and an increasing market presence. The post-pandemic recovery outlook for Western European countries may impact wage trends, potentially stabilizing growth rates. Additionally, economic policies and inflation rates will also influence Europe's food service wage landscape.
