@ Shane:Thanks, that sounds a little different now, like a new word for "Kantine." Normally I would call that a (company) cafeteria, but you might want something a bit more posh. Try searching the Internet for big companies with their own cafeteria.Gruße!

The client did his apprenticeship 'Das Mitarbeiter- und Direktionsrestaurant' of a Swiss firm. The first line of the reference is 'Eurest ist eine Division der weltweit in der Gemeinschaftsgastronomie tätigen Compass Group.' I suppose the 'Mitarbeiter and Direktionsrestaurant' is an example of 'Gemeinschaftsgastronomie'.

Shane: Try asking your client. I have a feeling there might be more to "Gemeinschafts"gastronomie than just plain old restaurants. Grüße!

catering kitchen (please see explanation)

"Gemeinschaftsgastronomie" appears to be about preparing meals for lots of people who then eat these meals in the same place, whether its business catering, company canteens, care catering etc.

IOW, I think the word "catering" is certainly part of the answer. "Service gastronomy" sounds like a translation, and I've not found a single kosher hit.

Looking at the sentence in its entirety, and assuming "Grossküche" is a "catering kitchen", it might be better to cut to the chase and say "Mr. Schmidt was employed/worked in all areas of a modern large-scale catering kitchen" (although I suppose catering kitchens tend to be big anyway).

Peer comment(s):

agree Kcda : "He was employed in various parts of the service gastronomy sector catering the community" type of thing is my take.

neutral TonyTK : Can't find a kosher (non-translated) English hit for this, Stephen. (Kcda - "catering the community" isn't English).
