GiroWeb is Committed to Automation and Digitalization: Smart Kiosk Systems and AI Solutions Live at Internorga

Hamburg, Germany | From March 13 to 17, 2026, the IT systems provider GiroWeb will present innovative solution modules for technology concepts in communal catering at Internorga, the leading international trade fair for hospitality and foodservice. As a long-standing Internorga exhibitor, GiroWeb will offer trade fair visitors the opportunity to experience live catering IT at booth 304 in hall A2. Interested parties from the catering and vending sectors can see the latest hardware and software for themselves in a practical setting. Between multifunctional kiosk systems and self-checkout via AI camera cash registers, a fruitful exchange quickly develops about artificial intelligence, innovations, and the added value that GiroWeb provides as a strategic technology partner for pre-ordering, payment, and billing in the canteen of the future.

Communal Catering with Potential

At the most prominent trade fair for communal catering, discussions will also focus on topics such as skill shortages, economic efficiency, and sustainability. The ongoing automation and digitalization, especially in combination with artificial intelligence, present significant opportunities to offer great potential for in-house caterers and contract caterers. GiroWeb has supported decision-makers throughout Germany for decades, helping them increase the efficiency of their catering operations. Thorsten Reineking, Managing Director at GiroWeb, knows the requirements of caterers: "With AI software, operations managers can control production, minimize resource waste, reduce personnel costs, create meal plans, and speed up processes from ordering to payment - all without compromising quality. In collaboration with technology partners, we will demonstrate at Internorga how autonomous self-checkout with AI camera cash registers works smoothly in practice."

Digital Payment and Self-Service

In the realm of communal catering, guests are increasingly expecting digital and contactless payment options. The thematic focus of the trade fair aligns with these expectations. In addition to AI software, Internorga will showcase IT concepts featuring self-service and digital payment. Staff shortages in company restaurants, canteens, and cafeterias are increasingly being compensated for by interactive devices and machines offering self-service and cashless payment. Networked self-service terminals, multimodal kiosk systems, kitchen and even service robots are examples of cutting-edge catering concepts. "With smart, multifunctional, and modular vending machines and kiosk systems, GiroWeb customers have the right answer to labor shortages and queues. Our barrier-free touch POS terminals are also part of the live demo at the new GiroWeb exhibition stand," says the host's managing director, convinced that the exhibition team is well prepared.

Inspiration, Networking, and Exchange

For catering managers, Internorga has been one of the most important meeting places for new ideas, networking, and expert discussions about trends, innovations, and added value for catering and vending for decades. Personal contact between manufacturers, service providers, and interested parties remains valuable for the catering market. This is reflected in the development of visitor numbers in recent years. After an impressive 85,000 trade visitors last year, it is not only Messe Hamburg that hopes this success story will continue. Managing Director Thorsten Reineking is also optimistic about the future for GiroWeb: "Anyone who wants to understand and actively shape the canteen of the future should come to Internorga. As a traditional exhibitor, we are delighted with the positive development and growing interest in GiroWeb's comprehensive solutions, which include cashless payment, flexible POS software, and expert service. We are already looking forward to Internorga. See you soon!"
