Geschichte

HORECA.digital GmbH is METRO AG's newly established subsidiary focusing on helping independent restaurants, hotels and caterers - with innovative digital tools and solutions to improve their business.

We are a 50-plus person strong team representing more than 10 key nationalities, driving innovation in hospitality through the METRO Accelerator powered by Techstars, as well as large scale eco-system pilots in key geographies. We help confirmed and scalable innovations to gain further traction by leveraging METRO'​ Cash & Carry's more than 750 stores and 3,000+ people salesforce in structured programs.

Different from many other corporates, our investment arm leverages established investment industry best-practices and structures to help VC/PE-experienced staff to make exit focused co-investments.

Separately set up from METRO Cash & Carry and directly reporting into METRO AG, we are a fast-growing and agile unit, reaching out to purpose-driven individuals with a proven track record of gaining traction in hybrid digital / brick-and-mortar environments, strong people leadership skills and a passion for food and hospitality.
