Founding Partners

Bidfood

Laurens Claassens

The hospitality industry currently has quite a few challenges to deal with. For example, rising purchase prices, high energy costs and too few staff. Let's look together at how we can convert these circumstances into success as much as possible. Hospitality, creativity, entrepreneurship and decisiveness make the difference.

Bidfood is 'The Place to B' during Gastvrij Rotterdam.
The place to B; to do business, network, get inspired and be surprised.

But also more job satisfaction and higher turnover. Gastvrij Rotterdam has been a high-quality trade fair for years where we happily and successfully show our solutions to hospitality professionals.
