Vapiano SE is a European restaurant franchise company headquartered in Cologne.[5] The chain's restaurants offer Italian food adhering to the fast-casual principle.[6] Vapiano was established in 2002[7] in Hamburg.[8][9] Its largest shareholder since 2011 is the private equity firm, Mayfair Vermögensverwaltung.[10] Roughly one-third of the restaurants are operated by the company itself,[11] but the majority are run as franchise or as joint ventures.[12] In April 2017, Vapiano had 180 locations in 31 countries,[13] including Australia, China, Egypt and the United States.[14] On 20 March 2020, Vapiano announced its cash-flow insolvency due to a sharp drop in sales after most restaurants had to close due to the COVID-19 pandemic.[15]
