Bavet is a Belgian chain that now has eleven spaghetti restaurants. “I started Bavet five years ago, not as a food and beverage player pur sang, but as a company,” says founder CEO Peter Van Praet. “We now have a head office that employs fifteen people, with a marketing department and so on. 75 people are employed in the restaurants themselves. During the first lockdown in March, we picked up a bit more speed and fell to 45 percent of our sales through online sales. In recent months we have worked hard and we have started ‘ghost kitchen’ Casper. This kitchen only prepares meals for take-out and home delivery services. You can’t come and eat there. ”
