crinology. At the Mobile World Congress,
over 60,000 customers were catered for
daily and throughout the year GastroFira
produced over 240,000 sandwiches. The
size of the task is again illustrated by the
fact that GastroFira trucks drive a total of
over 22,000 km per year to supply all the
services required for catering at the trade
fair venues.
The accent was placed on staff train-
ing and the provision of service with the
highest standards of quality, hygiene and
safety, and the response was excellent:
a rating of 7.7 out of 10 for catering,
according to the customer survey. We
should also mention the extension of the
Production Centre, with the construction
of facilities adjoining the central kitchen,
increasing its total area to 2,500 m².
Over the year, 157,000 hours of cater-
ing personnel work were hired. In this
sphere, cooperation agreements were
established with L’Hospitalet City Coun-
cil’s Economic Promotion Department
and with the “+50” unemployed people’s
association in that city.
Cooperation was also increased with
several restaurant and catering schools
(Basque Culinary Centre, CETT, ESHOB,
Sant Ignasi and so on), making provision
for visits and internships by students.
Finally, the Nuclo restaurant in the Eu-
rope Hall at the Gran Via venue continued
to be popular with business clients thanks
to its local cooking and excellent value.
Nuclo Catering continued to expand as
a premium service for organisers of func-
tions and events staged inside the venue.
Moreover, both the restaurant and the
catering department increased their online
presence.
GastroFira places the ac-
cent on staff training and
providing a service that
meets the highest demands
as regards quality, safety
and hygiene.
In 2015, more than two
tonnes of surplus food
from GastroFira was
distributed to various social
