ECHT Gastro Partner

All beginnings need not be difficult.

In 2018, the Nordmann Group from Hamburg decided to set up an association group with and for individual restaurateurs. Its name: ECHT Gastro Partner. Together with CRONBANK AG, iht was involved right from the start.

The idea

It is not easy for restaurateurs to go it alone in these times. This led to the desire to join forces in order to support each other, create synergies and achieve competitive advantages through cooperation.

Thanks to its many years of association experience, iht was the ideal partner to put the new association on a solid footing. From the very first meeting, it was clear that this was a meeting of people who think alike.

The challenge

Right from the start, ECHT Gastro Partner wanted to offer its members professional solutions: efficient centralized settlement that meets the demands of the industry and the bundling of all interfaces at a central location. The tasks:

Enthusiasm

Inspire all stakeholders in the catering industry's value chain with the cooperative idea of an association group

Integration

Taking into account the needs and requirements of the highly diverse individual restaurants in the system concept

Connection

Create individual interfaces to connect relevant systems with each other and thus achieve a high degree of automation

Optimization

Achieve a certain degree of process standardization in order to increase digitalization and efficiency without restricting the individuality of each catering business

The imple­mentation

In cooperation with CRONBANK AG, iht realized a smooth payment processing system for the affiliated companies. With the ECHT portal, a place was created where payment and data management and much more is bundled - digital, structured and user-friendly.

All receipts and invoices flow together in the ECHT back office. A digital office with all interfaces to suppliers, tax consultants and the tax office. Legally compliant, simple, clear.
