In hall B2, ground floor, stand 220 at the ahgz breakfast club, business breakfast is available all day. It includes a large buffet, live cooking and exciting talks on the subject of breakfast.
Karin Tischer
Karin Tischer will be speaking on trends in the international out-of-home market. She will inspire food service managers and provide some guidance on the market – head to the Pink Cube Trend Forum every day in the walkway between halls B1 and B2 (ground floor, stand 217).

Taste is everything: cookery competition
Creativity and ability are on the menu at the Next Chef Award. The penultimate day of the trade show will feature a cooking demonstration by Johann Lafer – a real treat. Then, the new hopefuls will follow his lead – no recipes allowed! They will need expertise and an affinity for flavour. You can watch the challenge live at the east entrance. The winner will gain recognition, fame and a publishing deal for their own recipe book.

Sustainable: wash rather than throw away
Reusable cups have been used in MEIKO dishwashers since 2006, a solution to avoid disposable plastic dishes. Thanks to caterers, event managers and bakers who use the sustainable washing solution for reusable cups from MEIKO. Festival-goers, stadium visitors and coffee to go drinkers are increasingly enjoying their drinks from washed reusable cups. This is good for the environment!
The video shows how such a hard cup, i.e. a reusable cup made of hard plastic, gets from the beverage trolley to the festival visitor and back to the caterer. And visitors to the Internorga can experience live how wonderfully ergonomics and sustainability go together and how dry the dishes are after the washing process with the M-iClean H hood-type dishwasher at the MEIKO stand.
There is no need to even tap the hood with our automatic rack detection. Just insert the rack from the side and let the dishwashing machine do the rest.
Sustainable: wash don't carry
Water bottle on table in café
All kinds of sizes and shapes of bottle can be cleaned in the M-iClean
All kinds of sizes and shapes of bottle can be cleaned in the M-iClean
This dishwashing machine can even clean milk bottles so long as they are cleared from the breakfast buffet as soon as they are empty.
For many food service managers, filtered tap water in a fashionable carafe or bottle just has to be on the menu these days. Water bottles do not have to travel or be loaded or carried or stored and fetched. MEIKO has developed a highly efficient solution for cleaning carafes and water bottles in the M-iClean U undercounter dishwashing machine. It has never been so easy to clean bottles! Come and see for yourself at the MEIKO stand, no. 315 in hall A4.
Sustainable: recycle don't waste
MEIKO GREEN Waste Solutions demonstrates how to make energy from eggshells. Visitors to the trade show can experience live how food waste and wet waste can be handled economically and hygienically before new energy is generated from it. It works in a tapas bar, on a cruise ship or in a dark kitchen – wherever food is prepared, there is waste. Plus the leftovers from diners' plates. That all adds up to millions of tonnes of food waste every year. Find out how food waste managers can turn potato peel into power and save money at MEIKO's ‘Green Island’ in hall 3, 3B52.
Activate! Don't crash now
After a hectic day at the trade show and absorbing all that information, it is time for a break. Have a seat, have a breather, have a coffee – but not just any old coffee. Order a coffee with both a kick and health benefits: a ‘goth latte.’ This latte macchiato contains activated carbon which binds to toxins and bacteria in your body – your second wind starts here – and the caffeine will carry you all the way to Hamburg's night life.
