Industry · Retail & commerce

What hurts in retail and commerce, in operators' own words.

Small shops, gastronomy, Handwerk counters, regional chains, and the family operations that run a till alongside everything else. Pain-points drawn from native-language operator forums (the official ELSTER Anwenderforum among them), trade-press coverage (Handwerksblatt, Steuertipps, sector publications), and the regulators and portals operators are forced to deal with directly.
