Turkey: Food Service - Hotel Restaurant Institutional
There has been an increase in incoming tourists in 2017 compared to 2016 when there were several security problems. Fast food restaurants have been performing better compared to full service and fine-dining outlets. There are approximately 140,000 food service outlets in Turkey in all segments. The industry is very fragmented with mostly small stand-alone restaurants. Five thousand institutional food service companies are serving corporations, hospitals, schools, universities, state and municipal offices, nursing homes and some military bases, either via cooking in their own facilities and delivering the food or cooking on customer premises.
