You won’t believe it, but it is. Well, you know those sandwiches that have a classic name but also a little idyllic and “rustic” flavors that have become so iconic, you forget that stuffed focaccia is named after a Ligurian municipality after all? Yes, we are talking about lifelong companions at many highway stops.
But could it be more painful to stop in service zones this summer? (And I’m not talking about the taste, huh). According to the statements of the professional chambers, there is a big storm over the highway service fees. A slump that risks not being able to sustain the coming summer season… and a farewell coffee at one o’clock in the morning. But why would dining on the highway cost so much?
Because the highway sandwich will always cost more
Again, the fault of the pandemic that lowered traffic levels along the highway network, and with the return to normal today, highway catering is losing between 10 and 15 percent. Holes (not holes in the road surface) that do not cover the fixed costs necessary to keep workers active 24/7 Solution? The receipt at the cashier will be more expensive. But the industry can now roll up its sleeves and more than 25,000 employees can take a short break. And our summer stop? Well, we may all have to arm ourselves with a cooler and classic rice salad.
