Gastronomy and impulse channels: a consistent growth market in Europe Food Service serves two segments in the food market: gastronomy and impulse channels. Gastronomy includes the more traditional segments, such as catering companies, canteens, restaurants and hotels. This segment is largely saturated and is affected by the economic situation. The other segment – impulse buying (snacks) – includes sales outlets such as convenience stores, the travel and leisure sector and entertainment facilities. This channel is young and offers many opportunities – a growing number of people now eat out and buy food at points of sale such as petrol stations and take-out restaurants.
