Germany

Hospitality in Germany, with sources.

National rules that every venue in Germany deals with, the busy days ahead, and city pages with local figures.

What applies across Germany

Since 1 January 2026, food served in restaurants is taxed at 7 instead of 19 per cent VAT. Drinks are excluded.

12.4 million guests, a 7.5% city tax, the Berlinale and the marathon.

9.3 million guests, beer garden hours, Oktoberfest and Bavarian public holidays.

TableFlow comes from Nijmegen in the Netherlands and runs in the founder's own ten venues.

Bookings on your own website, with the widget in six languages: Dutch, English, German, French, Spanish and Italian.
Confirmations and other guest emails, with default texts in those same six languages.
Deposits, quotes with a deposit and gift cards through your own Mollie account, in euros.
Guest profiles, email campaigns, quotes and guest feedback work the same everywhere.
