Horeca
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Horeca is a business term which refers to a sector of the food service industry, to establishments which prepare and serve food and beverages. The term is a concatenation of the words Hotel/Restaurant/Café (or Hotel/Restaurant/Caterer, or Hotel/Restaurant/Canteen).
This term is used in the Netherlands where it is thought to have originated, though it is also used in Portugal and Belgium and international beverage companies specializing in this sector.
Some tobacco companies (e.g. British American Tobacco) use this term to define the Food & Beverage Service trade channel or the Hospitality trade channel.
