FAQ

Frequently asked questions

78degrees was the official restaurant, VIP lounge and shop operator of the German Pavilion "Wa! Germany" at Expo 2025 in Osaka, as part of the pavilion team that won the Sustainability Award in Gold. In addition Christopher Hecker, former Director of the German Pavilion, joined 78degrees. He was responsible for the overall management of the German Pavilion.

Every culinary aspect: concept and menu development, sourcing and sustainable supply chains, hiring and training staff, and the daily operation of restaurant, VIP lounge and shop, so the pavilion team can focus on its exhibition.

Ideally 12 to 24 months before opening. Concepts, tenders, supply chains and staffing in the host country take time, and the best operators are booked first. The next stages are Expo 2027 in Belgrade, where we already run the restaurant and shop of the German and Austrian Pavilion, and Expo 2030 in Riyadh.

Yes. We know the requirements and procedures of public tenders and work at protocol level for state guests.

Yes, that is our specialty. At Expo 2025 in Osaka we served four national pavilions in parallel: Germany, Kuwait, Luxembourg and Bahrain, covering restaurants, VIP lounges, event spaces and shops.

Worldwide. 78degrees has offices in Germany, Japan, Saudi Arabia, Serbia and the United Arab Emirates, and has delivered at more than ten world expositions on four continents since 2008.
